For a creamy and decadent dessert that is completely plant-based, try this Vegan Panna Cotta recipe served with Strawberry Sauce. This coconut-based dessert is reminiscent of the authentic Italian version made with cream.

  • Total Time: 2 hours, 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the panna cotta:
  • 1 13.5ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons agar agar powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the strawberry sauce:
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, ¼ cup of sugar, agar agar powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients to ensure that the powder and sugar get completely dissolved.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer the mixture for at least 3 minutes. This ensures that the agar agar powder gets activated.
  3. Then, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture into four small bowls, parfait glasses, or ramekins. Do your best to divide the mixture evenly between the containers.
  4. Place the bowls into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
  5. When you are ready to serve the panna cotta, make the strawberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the frozen strawberries, water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and lemon juice.
  6. While the mixture comes up to a simmer, use the back of a serving spoon to gently smash the frozen strawberries. Let the strawberries cook for a few minutes, or until they are completely soft. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  7. Serve the panna cotta in the bowls or molds, with a spoonful of the strawberry sauce on top of each one.
  8. You can also remove the panna cotta from the molds to a plate for serving.
  9. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  1. Be sure to use agar agar powder, not agar flakes.
  2. You can use coconut sugar instead of white sugar, but it will turn your panna cotta a light tan color as opposed to white.
  3. The total cook time includes 2 hours of set time in the refrigerator.
  4. You can substitute the strawberries with frozen raspberries, if you prefer.
