Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine almond milk, coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Warm over medium heat until just steaming, not boiling.
Sprinkle the gelatin (or agar agar) evenly over the surface and whisk quickly to dissolve. Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes until fully dissolved and mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour the mixture into 4 small serving glasses or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set and jiggly.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, and chopped almonds (if using). Mix until crumbly and evenly coated.
Spread crumble mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring once, until golden and fragrant. Cool completely.
To serve, sprinkle almond crumble generously on top of each panna cotta and drizzle with a little extra almond milk for the signature "cereal milk" vibe. Enjoy cold.
