here is a dessert that we eat and eat with pleasure and great tasting.

it take me ages to decide to make this panna cotta, despite that every time I go to the shop, I buy a box of coconut milk to do it... but there is always something that stops me, but  finally I did it.

I can't remember where I had already seen a panna cotta with coconut milk, and the idea stucks in my head.

try it.... you are not going to be disappointed.
