Shilpi & Etienne | between2kitchens
This exotic combination of rum, coconut milk, lime and fresh pineapples turned into a panna cotta, tastes everything like the Puerto Rican classic cocktail. Sweet and creamy, finished with a hint of lime and toasted coconut flakes, makes it a match made in heaven.
