Coconut Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta? Just in case you don't know, I am assuming as well you don't, panna cotta is the known creamy, classic Italian dessert. Made from cream, sugar, milk and gelatine. Lovely sweet punch for after meal or anytime you long for a dessert, there's various ways how you can further elevate panna cotta. Ice-cream, fresh fruits, canned fruits, whipped cream, so on and so forth, my version of course must be a Malaysian version (Grape Fruit Coconut Jelly, Dragon Fruit Coconut Jelly & Pandan Jelly Coconut Milk). I am, I think I have told you before, a typical Malaysian and I will never compromise our local ingredients for imported ingredients. Unless maybe, once a while, when the dessert matter is a different matter warranted. Otherwise, I so love our? Of course, coconut milk and pandan leaves/screwpine leaves (Pumpkin Pandan Jelly).My desserts too, mostly must be the easy making? Making this Coconut Panna Cotta, scented by pandan leaves and canned fruits/fruit cocktail going atop, I believe is also sort of nothing brain cracking? Alright foodies, I'll see you again next time. Happy sweet pleasure. 
(Pandan/Screwpine leaves)
