This Coconut Cream Panna Cotta with Pineapple is a dreamy, tropical twist on the classic Italian dessert. Smooth, luscious coconut cream sets into a silky base and gets topped with caramelized or fresh pineapple for the perfect light-yet-decadent finish. It’s a no-bake dessert that looks fancy — but is surprisingly simple.
