Ingredients
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the diced strawberries and 1 tablespoon of erythritol. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and become syrupy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In another saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, remaining erythritol, vanilla extract, agar agar powder, and pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, whisking frequently. Once simmering, cook for 2-3 minutes to activate the agar agar.
Remove from heat. Divide the strawberry compote evenly among 4 small serving glasses or ramekins. Pour the warm coconut mixture over the strawberries, filling each glass.
Let cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill and set completely, at least 2 hours.
Once set, run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta if needed to loosen. Invert onto plates or serve in the glasses. Garnish with extra fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut flakes before serving.
