Method

  1. Halve 6 of the passion fruit and scoop out the pulp into a saucepan. Add the cream, coconut cream, caster sugar and lemon juice, heat everything together, then gently boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. When the cream is just simmering, scoop out about 100ml into a small bowl and scatter over the gelatine. Stir until dissolved, stir back into the saucepan, then take off the heat. Press through a sieve into a jug, then pour the mixture into 4 individual mini pudding basins. Leave to set in the fridge for at least 4 hrs until completely set.
  2. Meanwhile, halve and scoop the rest of the passion fruit through a sieve into a bowl. Mix to sweeten with the icing sugar, add 1 tbsp of the seeds from the sieve back into the sauce, then stir to mix. Can be made up to 2 days in advance and chilled.
  3. To serve, briefly dip the panna cotta moulds into hot water until they just loosen at the sides, then invert onto serving plates. Spoon the sauce around the plates and serve.

    Made this and it was too thick! Can I just check is this really 160ml pack of creamed coconut (the sort used in asian cooking) - it seems an awful lot?

    Creamed coconut comes in a thick block and would be too thick, i think the recipe suggest coconut cream in the sense of more of a coconut milk . . . hope this helps x

    Followed the recipe but it set far too solid, not great in flavour either, a big disappointment frankly

    I agree with the above two comments, there is was too much gelatine in this recipe, the panna cotta is quite solid and leaves a metallic taste in your mouth. All I can say is I'm glad I tasted it before my dinner party and had time to make another dessert. Jane, Australia
