Panna Cotta is a classic Italian dessert that is very easy to make and absolutely delicious. Creamy with a coconut flavor and topped with fresh raspberry sauce this coconut panna cotta is the perfect desert.

I woke up craving a coconut dessert, so I decided to make a coconut version of Panna Cotta, by adding some coconut milk and topping it with a home made rapsberry sauce. The best thing about this dessert is that you can make it one day ahead, so it is great for entertaining.

This is so pretty! I made Almond Panna Cotta once. It was such a pain grinding up all the almonds. I would never try it again.
This tasty looking coconut Panna Cotta on the other hand seems a lot simpler to make. I'll definitely give this a try. 🙂
