Coconut lemon pannacotta with blueberry compote

Coconut lemon panna cotta with blueberry compote looks delicate and classy on your dinner table. I have always preferred using coconut milk/cream for preparing desserts, especially panna cotta. In this panna cotta, I added lemon zest and juice for freshness and blueberries for a fruity finish to this delicate dessert. 

I keep making this easy pannacotta with a twist here and there. Occasionally I serve this with breakfast for my little one as gelatin, which is one of the ingredients beneficial for growing bones. 

It is like my go-to dessert. I add fresh fruits, puree, or compote using seasonal fruits to keep things interesting. 

As there is not much cooking involved, it saves time and effort. Please try this for your next gathering and thank me later.
