Time 4h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
Vegetable oil, for the ramekins
One 13- to 14-ounce can coconut milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1/2 cup salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Brush eight 4-ounce ramekins with oil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a shallow bowl and let stand until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Heat the coconut milk, heavy cream, 1/2 cup of the sugar and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan until hot but not simmering. Stir in the gelatin until dissolved. Divide the panna cotta among the prepared ramekins. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1/3 cup sugar with 3 to 4 teaspoons water (until the consistency of wet sand) in a heavy skillet. Set over medium heat and cook, swirling the skillet occasionally for even browning (do not stir the mixture), about 10 minutes. When the sugar is a deep caramel color, remove from the heat, stir in the peanuts and immediately pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely.
  • When ready to serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of the ramekins, then invert the panna cottas onto serving plates. Coarsely chop the peanut brittle and sprinkle it on top of the panna cottas.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (about 1 1/2 1/4-ounce envelopes)
1/3 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
a 14 1/2- or 15-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk, well-stirred
1 cup well-stirred canned cream of coconut such as Coco Lopez
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons light rum

Steps:

  • In a small bowl sprinkle gelatin over whole milk to soften. In a dry heavy saucepan cook sugar over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring, swirling pan, until deep golden. Coat bottoms of eight 3/4-cup molds or ramekins with caramel.
  • In a large saucepan bring coconut milk and cream of coconut just to a boil, stirring. Remove pan from heat and add gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved. Stir in heavy cream and rum. Cool panna cotta 30 minutes. Stir panna cotta well and divide among molds or ramekins. Cool panna cottas completely. Chill desserts until firm, at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days.
  • To unmold panna cottas, dip molds or ramekins, 1 at a time, into a bowl of hot water 3 seconds. Run a thin knife around edges of molds or ramekins and invert desserts onto a platter.
