Method

Step 1

To make the panna cotta, place gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water to soften.

Step 2

Stir coconut milk, cream, sugar, lime leaves and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan over a medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Squeeze water out of gelatine and add to hot milk mixture. Stir until dissolved. Strain into four ramekins or dariole moulds. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight until set.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 180C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

Step 4

To make the ginger crumb, combine the sugar, oats, flour, ginger, mixed spice and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the butter and fresh ginger until well combined. Spread mixture onto prepared tray in a single layer.

Step 5

Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool on tray. Crumble into pieces.

Step 6

To make lime syrup, stir all ingredients in a saucepan over a medium heat until combined. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened to form a syrup. Set aside to cool. Strain. Refridgerate until cold.

Step 7

Invert panna cotta onto serving plates. Top with ginger crumb and serve with lime syrup.
