Pomegranate, coconut milk and agar - a delicious vegan dessert

Classic Panna cotta is prepared with cream, sugar, vanilla and gelatine. Looks and tastes great, especially when served with fruit or fruit sauce.

This traditional Italian dessert can also be prepared in a vegan version, all you need to do is replace plain milk with plant-based milk, and gelatin with agar. This is a very easy quick dessert recipe that we can prepare in advance.

* The ratio of agar to liquid should be used as recommended by the manufacturer, but do not overdo it with the amount of agar, the dessert should be velvety and slightly wobbly.

I also recommend a recipe using agar for delicate yoghurt and mandarin foam with flambéed oranges and thyme.
