Cup of Yum
Make the panna cotta:
- In a large bowl, measure out 3 tablespoon of cold water.
- Sprinkle gelatin over top of the cold water. Set aside and allow to bloom.
- Pour half the can of coconut milk (200ml) into a separate bowl.
- Add the other half of the coconut milk (200ml) to a small saucepan and add in granulated sugar.
- Heat the coconut milk and sugar over medium heat, just until it comes to a simmer and the sugar has dissolved.
- Remove from heat and pour in the bloomed gelatin mixture.
- Whisk until the gelatin is dissolved and there are no granules left.
- Combine the heated mixture with the rest of the coconut milk and whisk until smooth.
- To remove any air bubbles, pour the mixture through a sieve.
To assemble:
- For a fancy presentation, place a damp kitchen towel or cloth over a muffin tin tray.
- Lay the glass at an angle in the well on top of the damp cloth. (It should be snug and secure sitting on the damp cloth).
- Carefully divide the coconut milk mixture into 4 glasses.
- Chill the coconut panna cotta in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours, until set.
Make the sakura cherry blossom jelly:
- Pick out 8 cherry blossoms. Place blossoms into a sieve and rinse under cold running water to remove excess salt. Add the cherry blossoms to a bowl and soak in clean cold water for about 30 minutes.
- Gently drain the cherry blossoms and set aside.
- Add ½ C cold water (125ml) to a bowl and sprinkle powdered gelatin over top. Set aside to let it bloom.
- In a small saucepan, heat ½ C water (125ml) and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar over medium heat, until simmering and the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and add 2 freeze-dried raspberries (optional, for colour).
- Press gently on the raspberries to release the colour.
- Strain the pink liquid through a sieve and discard the raspberries.
- Whisk the gelatin mixture with the warm pink liquid until the gelatin is dissolved.
- Pour the liquid through a sieve to remove any air bubbles.
Assemble:
- Remove the coconut panna cotta glasses from the fridge and let them stand up normally (you can remove the muffin tray).
- Add two cherry blossoms to each glass and gently pour in the pink liquid.
- Return to the fridge to set, another 1-2 hours.
- Once set, garnish with raspberries and mint or enjoy as is.
- Serve chilled.
