Directions
Allow the panna cotta to chill fully for the silkiest texture. Run a thin knife around the edge of the ramekin and invert onto a plate to unmold. If it sticks, dip the bottom of the ramekin in hot water for 5-10 seconds before inverting. For a nut-free version, substitute oat milk for almond milk and use sunflower seed milk instead of coconut milk. The turmeric is optional but gives a lovely golden hue reminiscent of Italian desserts.
