A dairy-free custard made with creamy coconut milk, zingy passionfruit and a hint of vanilla. It’s better for you than your standard panna cotta.
Ingredients
3 egg yolks
300ml coconut milk
40g (1/4 cup) agave sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
1/2 tsp finely grated lime rind
3 gelatine leaves
60ml (1/4 cup) strained fresh passionfruit juice
60ml (1/4 cup) fresh passionfruit pulp, plus extra, to serve
Flaked coconut, toasted, to serve
Directions
Step 1
Place yolks in a heatproof bowl and whisk until combined.

Place coconut milk , sugar , vanilla and lime rind in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot but not boiling. Slowly whisk hot milk mixture into yolks.

Remove from heat and stir in gelatine until dissolved. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Place over an ice bath, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until cooled slightly.
Step 5
