Ingredients

Process

In a saucepan, pour the coconut milk and add the sugar.
Split the vanilla pod in two and remove the paste then add it to the pan.
Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water in a bowl.
Heat the coconut mix to allow the sugar to melt and the vanilla to infuse.
Use a blender to smooth the mix.
Squeeze the gelatin sheets to remove the water and put them in a bowl to melt in the microwave.
Pour the melted gelatin in the coconut mix and whisk it then pour it in the ramekins.
Let them set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Useful Tips

For a stronger vanilla flavour, let the vanilla paste and pod infuse overnight. Don’t forget to remove the pod before blending the mix.
Don’t simmer or boil the coconut mix to prevent the coconut milk from separating when cooling down in the fridge.
Be careful when melting the gelatin sheets in the microwave. Don’t burn it. When doing it, I reduce the power to 30% and put the timer on 10 seconds. If needed you can put it back in the microwave for 5 seconds.
The recipe is for 4 people but according to the size of the ramekins, it can be for more or less people.
To decorate the ramekins, coconut flavour goes well with bananas, cherries, chocolate, lemon or lime, mango, pineapple or even raspberries.
