Coconut Passion Fruit Panna Cotta (AIP, Paleo & Low FODMAP Friendly)

What’s Inside: Refreshing, creamy, and satisfying – this easy paleo panna cotta will wow you and any lucky guests you make it for! Plus, it’s AIP-compliant.

Finding desserts that are AIP and Low FODMAP friendly is not always the easiest thing but I’m on a mission to make that a bit easier using simple ingredients and methods. And one of my favorite desserts ever is PANNA COTTA – a thick and creamy-like pudding complete with a fruity topping, which is perfect in warmer weather especially. I also have a vegan version without gelatin you can easily use too (see below).

This recipe is easily adaptable and I encourage you to experiment with toppings! Finding passion fruit might not be easy, but if you can – it’s so worth it. This low sugar and low FODMAP fruit has a delicious floral, sweet and slightly tart taste that works perfectly with the coconut cream. Other great low FODMAP options would be your favorite berries and/or kiwi!

And on the sugar topic, easily use maple syrup or you can use raw honey later (don’t heat it) – I’m also experimenting with some Pure Monk Fruit sweetener which is much sweeter than sugar so a lot goes a long way and it has some great health benefits. I find it has a mild aftertaste (not as much as stevia) and can be nice if you’re avoiding traditional sweeteners, that being said, this dessert doesn’t need much of anything so it’s easy to go either way.

  1. Your instructions only say to add in 1 cup of coconut milk with the gelatin. When do I add the rest of the can of coconut milk in this recipe

  2. Yes, yes, beautiful and YES!! AIP but just fruity enough to make me so happy (although berries sounds really yummy on top too!). I’ve made a similar coconut milk + gelatin pudding-ish thing before with cacao in it, but a vanilla version would just make my dessert life that much better! I’d be curious to hear more about monk fruit too, stevia does not work for my body but I’d love an alternative that does. Pinning and making as soon as I have a second to cook just for fun 😀

  3. It’s so hard to find passion fruit here so I’ve never had it! But the color and your description of it sound wonderful. I also love panna cotta, and find it can be such a great make-ahead dessert for the week ahead or dinner parties. xo!
