1. Pour the coconut milk and milk into a saucepan, then add the sugar. Split the vanilla pod in half and scrape out the seeds, then add to the pan with the empty pod. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 5 mins.
2. Spoon 200ml of the hot mixture into a small bowl. Shake over the gelatine and whisk into the mixture until dissolved. If you have difficulty dissolving the gelatine, return the mixture to a gentle heat for 1-2 mins. See know-how below).Stir into the rest of the coconut mixture, discarding the vanilla pod. Pour into 6 x 200ml metal dariole moulds and place in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm with a slight wobble. Can be made up to 2 days ahead.
3. For the salsa, tip the sugar and ginger slices into a small saucepan and pour over 100ml water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for another 5-10 mins until it turns slightly syrupy and light golden. Leave to cool, then discard the ginger slices. The syrup can be made up to 1 week in advance.
4. To serve, dip each dariole mould into boiling water for a moment to loosen the panna cotta, then turn onto a serving late. Arrange the sliced pineapple beside each panna cotta and scatter with chopped chilli. Drizzle with ginger syrup to finish.

  This recipe was very good easy to make. I made it for my last dinner party and everone was very impressed. I did change it slightly, I used low fat coconut cream and low fat coconut milk combined and only used half the full cream milk. I added 1 tsp of coconut essence and used 3 geletine sheets instead of powder. I served Raspberry ice cream. and pineapple and mint sobert as a accompliment.

  Delightful receipe and so easy to do! I had had the self same thing in a restaurant in Cyprus only last week and came home to see if I could find a similar recipe....voila! I used lite coconut milk and vanilla extract. To serve I grilled the pineapple and decorated it with mint sprigs. Going to be a favourite!

  Where do you get coconut essence from? What is the difference in using gelatine leaf and gelatine powder?
