Recipe: Coconut- Collagen Pumpkin Panna Cotta

Ingredients:

For Panna Cotta:

1 13 oz can original coconut milk

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup pumpkin purée

1 scoop holi (mane)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground cloves

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp gelatin

Maldon or Kosher Salt

For Date Syrup:

10 medjool dates

1 cup water

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon cardamom

For Toasted Kasha:

¼ cup kasha (buckwheat)

1 tbsp coconut oil

To Make:

Grease 4 ½ cup (4oz) ramekins with coconut oil. Set aside.

In a small bowl add water and sprinkle gelatin on top. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat coconut milk, sugar, spices, holi mane, vanilla, pumpkin and salt to taste in a saucepan on medium low heat. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to low. Once everything is combined, whisk in gelatin. Take off heat and strain into ramekins. Chill for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

In a small sautée pan, heat coconut oil on medium-low heat. Add kasha, and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown. 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, add dates, water, and spices.  Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until a rich sauce has formed. If it becomes too thick, you can add water at any point. Once done, strain through a fine mesh sleeve, lightly pushing on dates to release any delicious flavor.

To serve

Flip ramekin onto your serving plate to release the panna cotta. If you’re having trouble, you can run the bottom under hot water for a second. Top with a generous drizzle of date syrup, toasted kasha, and a sprinkling of salt. Enjoy !
