A V-Day Delight: Coconut Panna Cotta With Berry Sauce

5 days ago

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and love is in the air (or maybe just pollen from all the flower bouquets). While we love celebrating our loved ones, there can also be a ton of pressure around getting Valentine’s Day “right.” Luckily, we’ve got one way to make your day a little bit smoother (actually, a lot smoother) – our Coconut Panna Cotta with Berry Sauce. We know that a box of chocolates are a classic on V-Day, so why not mix it up and treat your loved ones to a special homemade coconut dessert? It’s the perfect way to end a romantic meal with a partner, or to show your Gal-entines just how much you love them.

The best part of our luscious coconut dessert? It’s light and indulgent, leaving room for other Valentine’s Day treats. 💕

The Recipe Card

There are so many ways to show your love for others, but at Harmless Harvest, our love language is panna cotta. It’s silky smooth and elegant, and with a vibrant strawberry sauce drizzled on top, it’s sure to become your Valentine’s day dessert go-to. And of course, we had to give it a tangy, coconutty twist with our Unsweetened Plain Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative, made from our Organic Coconut Water.

The best part is, since it needs time to chill, you can prep it in advance. No need to be scrambling around the kitchen day-of googling “Valentine’s Day dessert ideas” – go out and enjoy your holiday, then pop it out of the fridge when it’s time to treat yourself!

What You'll Need

For the Coconut Panna Cotta (makes 4 servings)

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1.75 tsp gelatin
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 -- 4.4 oz container Harmless Harvest Unsweetened Plain Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative 

For the berry sauce

  • 6 oz (set 4 oz aside for garnish)
  • ½ lb strawberries (set 2 aside for garnish)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

How To Make It

1. To make the panna cotta, combine heavy cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a slow boil. When cream and sugar are heating, add gelatin and water to a small bowl and let it bloom for a few minutes. Once cream mixture reaches a slow boil, add bloomed gelatin, stirring constantly for 1 minute to fully dissolve. Remove from heat and stir in Harmless Harvest Unsweetened Plain Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative until fully combined. Lightly oil four 4-ounce ramekins and pour panna cotta mixture evenly into each. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, ideally overnight, to set.
2. To make the berry sauce,
combine raspberries, hulled and sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and puree berry mixture using a blender (regular or immersion). Strain puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, then set aside to cool completely.
3.
To assemble and serve, unmold panna cotta by gently running a sharp knife under hot water. Insert knife around edge of each ramekin, dragging it along rim to release seal. Swirl bottom and sides of ramekin in hot water for 5 seconds, then invert mold onto a plate, gently tapping to release. Top with berry sauce and garnish with fresh strawberry slices, raspberries, mint, and shaved coconut.

The LOML: Our Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative

How many of you have tried yogurt alternatives that are too runny, too grainy, or just straight up too bland? Well our dairy-free yogurt alternative will have you ready to put a ring on it. It’s got all the lusciousness of traditional yogurt, plus a natural coconut tang, without the dairy. It’s perfect with a drizzle of honey, cooked into your favorite dishes, or just straight out of the container. There are endless ways to indulge!

Our yogurt is hand-scooped from the same young Nam Hom coconuts used in our delightfully pink coconut water. And that means double the good. There are no added sugars or sweeteners, and using the same delicate coconut meat means we can divert food waste from landfills. We only partner with organic farms in Thailand that use sustainable methods, plus a portion of every coconut purchase goes to supporting the community in Thailand. It’s as good for the planet as it is for you!
