Coconut Yoghurt Panna Cotta with Passion Fruit

March 13, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 29 Comments

I find I get a craving for tropical flavours this time of year; pineapple, mango, dragon fruit and such but it’s a bit of a bore to just eat it raw. When the lovely people at Rachel’s Organic asked if I would like to try some of their yoghurt I had to try the coconut one. I have been enjoying it with banana for breakfast but I wanted to make something creative with it. I do like yoghurt on its own but I think it gives a great flavour to icings, ice creams and other desserts. I like the tang and interest it brings and so it was high time I got my Hawaiian shirt on to start making a delectable panna cotta.
coconut yoghurt panna cotta

You will need (for three big panna cotta which could easily be four if you’re not as greedy as me):

150ml double cream
2 tbsp caster sugar
2 sheets of gelatine
450g coconut yoghurt
A couple of passion fruits
coconut panna cotta ingredients
I was intimidated by gelatine the first time I used it; it was new and untrustworthy. Now I consider us great friends as it always works and does exactly what you want it to. I wouldn’t be without the stuff now, ready to set any liquid you put in front of it into a quivering solid. Previous to this I had not tried to make a jelly with anything other than wine or cider and I wasn’t convinced that a sugar syrup would mix in very well with the yoghurt. So I decided to dissolve the gelatine in cream instead.

Put the cream and sugar into a pan and heat gently until it’s almost boiling. Stir it constantly to stop the cream sticking and to ensure the sugar dissolves. While the cream heats put the gelatine into a bowl of cold water to soften. When the cream has almost boiled remove it from the heat, squeeze out as much water as possible from the gelatine and then add this to the cream.
Stir the gelatine into the hot cream until it has dissolved. Wait for it to cool down a little before mixing in the yoghurt. Stir it all together well before dividing between glasses, ramekins or whatever you fancy and refrigerate for at least two hours or until set. When the panna cotta is ready spoon out the seeds from a passion fruit onto each pudding.

I know traditionally you are supposed to upend the panna cotta so that everyone can see you’ve achieved the perfect wobble. However mine were rather large and I think quite charming left in the glasses that I used. It was also much easier to eat than any panna cotta I’ve ever had because you weren’t chasing the wiggling pudding around the plate. The coconut yoghurt added a great texture because it is full of desiccated coconut and the flavour was distinct yet subtle. The passion fruit was an essential acidic addition as it lifted the whole dessert and gave a lovely crunch too. This is definitely a treat for banishing those winter blues.
Thanks to Rachel’s Organic for the samples. All opinions expressed are my own.

    Lovely and splendid dessert. I have not seen coconut yogurt over here. Wondering if I can coconut cream and yogurt for the same nice and wonderful flavors.

    Beautiful dessert. My hand passed over this yoghurt the other day when I was looking for some, might give it a go next time. Love the splash of colour from the passion fruit.

    what an inspired use for your yogurt! contrasting the creamy panna cotta with the passion fruit seeds on top was a marvelous idea.

    I don’t know too much about pannacotta. I made it at school and TAFE but being veggie, I don’t eat gelatine. Although I now have a veggie version of gelatine. It’s not agar agar so I might give this a go!

  • Christmas music on, production line assembled, homemade Christmas gifts go! I love making these to give as gifts; using up old jars, candy cane string and paper labels. I won't lie, I always do a whisk and taste test myself first. At least once. It's the malted drink powder that makes them 👌. Recipe for these is on the blog, just search 'hot chocolate'. #foodgiftideas #hotchocolate #homemadegifts #foodgifts #allthatimeating #handmadegifts #christmasfood #decemberdrinks #besthotchocolate
  • Hmmm. Ever so slightly too wide for the gap but looking adorned, sparkly and smelling lovely. Nothing matches on the tree, much like the rest of the house.

  • I ‘made’ this wreath a few years ago now. I say made, I mean I glued some @innocent smoothie hats to a willow wreath. I like that it’s colourful and uses the hats that I otherwise didn’t know what to do with.

  • Isn’t this a fabulous contraption? It’s a little table that would attach to the back of a car seat (before headrests) so one could picnic at will! The cars, garages and everything else at @lakelandmotor was brilliant. Really enjoyed our morning there, cracking café too. #lakelandmotormuseum #newbybridge #lakedistrict #museum #motormuseum #uktravel #incarpicnic #vintagecars #allthatimeating
