Coconut Panna Cotta

IMG_3425 (800x533)

I made this for Halloween and thought it would be perfect for Cinco de Mayo as well. Honestly you don’t need a holiday for the dessert, but it’s a little more fun when you can mold it into something. I used a skeleton mold I got at Halloween. I loved this recipe and will make it again for sure! It’s not as sweet as some panna cotta’s I’ve had and tasted really nice with the fruit.

Refrigerate for 4 hours. To remove from mold, gently pull edges of custard with your fingers to loosen. Invert onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh berries and mint, if desired.
