Hibiscus Panna Cotta

How dreamy does this vegan Hibiscus Panna Cotta look and sound? Deliciously creamy and free from refined sugar, this dessert will surely be a crowd pleaser.

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

1 tbsp Aduna Hibiscus Powder
400 ml coconut cream
400 ml coconut yogurt
3 tbsp of agave syrup
4 tbsp of agar agar powder (check the product instructions as it might differ between brands)
1 tsp vanilla extract

To serve (optional):
Raspberries

Method:

Add the following into a saucepan over medium heat: half of coconut cream, half of coconut yogurt, half of agar agar, vanilla extract and half portion of agave syrup. Stir well and bring it to a boil.

Once the mixture starts boiling, simmer for 2-3 min. The agar agar needs to dissolve, and can only dissolve while boiling to activate the setting properties.

Allow the liquids to cool for 10 min before dividing the mixture into 6-8 glass ramekins. Tilt the glasses using a muffin tin to keep them in place - this will create a nice pattern.

Refrigerate for 30 min or until the mixture has set.

Prepare the hibiscus layer by mixing the remaining ingredients including hibiscus powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and allow to simmer for 2-3 mins, ensuring the agar agar has dissolved.

Leave to cool for 10 mins before pouring the mixture over the white panna cotta layer in the ramekins.

Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or leave it overnight until fully set. 

Top with fresh raspberries before serving.

Enjoy!
