Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring gently for about 5 minutes until sugar is dissolved.
  2. Take a small bowl and mix 55g of the warm milk mixture with pandan powder until smooth. Return this mixture to the saucepan and stir for another minute.
  3. Soak the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes until softened.
  4. Gently heat the milk and pandan mixture to a temperature of 50°C (122°F). Do not let it boil.
  5. Squeeze excess water from the softened gelatin sheets and stir them into the warm milk mixture until they dissolve completely.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to ensure a smooth texture.
  7. Pour the strained blend into molds, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
  8. Once set, remove from the fridge and garnish each panna cotta with shredded coconut or a fresh pandan leaf.
