FAQs
Can I make Pandan Coconut Panna Cotta Recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! It actually improves after a few hours in the fridge. Store covered and enjoy up to 3 days later.
What’s the best substitute for gelatin?
Agar‑agar powder works for a vegan version; use 3 tsp agar‑agar for the same setting power.
How do I store leftovers?
Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate. For longer storage, freeze individually.
Why did my panna cotta turn out runny?
Either the gelatin didn’t fully dissolve, or the mixture wasn’t hot enough when you added it. Re‑heat gently and ensure a full dissolve before pouring.
