Ingredients

  • 240 ml (1 cup) canned coconut milk or dairy-free creamer
  • 75 g dark chocolate e.g. 70-85%
  • 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • ½ tsp agar powder

Instructions

  • You can watch the short video for visual instructions.
    Combine the canned coconut milk, chocolate, maple syrup, and agar powder in a medium saucepan and heat over medium until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
  • Stir/ whisk constantly for 3-4 minutes, or until the chocolate has melted, then remove it from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, lightly oil a bowl or individual ramekins/molds (silicone molds don’t require oiling).
    Alternatively, serve the chocolate coconut panna cotta directly out of clear glass dishes or ramekins.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the mold and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
  • Finally, carefully unmold and invert the panna cotta onto serving plates, sprinkle with a dusting of cocoa powder, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use more or less sweetener depending on the type of chocolate (semi sweet or very dark).
