Coconut Panna Cotta With Hibiscus Syrup
Panna cotta is the thick, creamy Italian dessert comparable to Latin flan or French crème brûlée. Unlike the richness of a custard dessert, panna cotta is delightfully light and versatile in flavor. Start with a creamy base of coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. After heating the milk mixture, let it cool and stiffen in several small ramekins. The petite panna cottas pop out of their molds and present beautifully with a drizzle of deep red hibiscus syrup and a scattering of dried hibiscus flowers.
