I also love pannacotta and have eaten it in Italy! But I found when
experimenting that I could happily include some coconut cream (not
coconut milk mind you!) in the cream ingredient. It made a world of
difference - especially to those who like coconut!

Can you buy tiny cans of coconut cream (125g)? These are wonderful
for using in curries, pannacottas or anything that requires just a
small amount of coconut cream.
