Instructions
 

  • #### **Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Panna Cotta**
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well.
  • Sprinkle in the agar agar powder while whisking continuously to avoid clumps.

  • #### **Step 3: Make the Blueberry Topping**
  • In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and water.
  • Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the sauce thickens.
  • If using cornstarch, mix it with 1 teaspoon of water before stirring it into the sauce. Simmer for another minute.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.
  • #### **Step 4: Assemble & Serve**
  • Spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the set panna cotta.
  • Garnish with extra fresh blueberries or coconut flakes if desired.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!
