Do ahead
Grease the ramekins (or whatever molds you’ll use) with a bit of coconut oil.
Bloom the gelatin
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and the cold water. Stir to combine then let sit for 5 minutes.
Heat the milk
In a medium pot combine the dairy-free milk, granulated sugar, kosher salt and vanilla extract. Whisk together and heat to a low simmer. Once simmering and all of the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat and let sit for 1 minute.
Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the milk mixture and whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Pour into the prepared molds/vessels. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set the panna cottas. Serve in the molds or demold them (see instructions below.)
Demold (optional)
One at a time, slide a thin knife or offset spatula along the top edge to remove the suction and place the bottoms of the ramekins in a small bowl of hot water for 10-15 seconds to warm the outside and help it release. Be careful not to get any of the water into the panna cotta. Invert the ramekin onto a plate and give a gentle shake to help it release.
Top and serve
Top with your desired compote or plain fruit. Serve immediately.
Toppings
Mango lemon cardamom: Combine the mango pulp with the cardamom and lemon juice. Sprinkle lemon zest over to serve.
Strawberry rhubarb: Cook the strawberry, rhubarb, sugar and salt in a saucepan for 10 minutes over medium heat or until thickened to your liking. Let cool before using.
Blueberry rosemary lime: Cook the blueberries, whole rosemary sprig, sugar, lime juice and salt in a saucepan for 10 minutes over medium heat or until thickened to your liking. Let cool before using. Sprinkle lime zest over to serve.
Kiwi mint: In a small bowl combine the diced kiwi, mint and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to let the kiwis release their juices.
