Ina’s Tip

Use fresh litchis, peeled when in season and pitted, and top the yoghurt layer. Buy a small box (250 ml) of litchi juice and set with gelatine for top layer.

Method:

Panna Cotta

Sprinkle the gelatine over the water and leave to sponge.

Bring the coconut milk, vanilla, sugar, and salt just to the boil.

Remove from the heat, add the sponged gelatine, and stir to dissolve.

Allow to cool a little.

Add the yoghurt, stir well, and distribute between 4 - 6 small glasses.

Refrigerate until set (2 hours).

 

Litchi Jelly Layer

To make the jelly layer, sprinkle the gelatine over the water and leave to sponge.

Strain the litchis from the tin and reserve the liquid.

Bring the strained liquid, lime juice, and zest to a light simmer.

Remove from the heat, add the sponged gelatine, and stir to dissolve.

Cool to room temperature.

Chop the litchis and divide between the panna cottas.

Pour the cooled syrup over the litchis and allow to set in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.
