Author Notes: Stumbled upon Pinterest to figure out how to use up some leftover grapefruits and found an amazing Panna Cotta recipe from http://thekitchenmccabe.com. Adapted the recipe and lessened the sugar to satisfy our lightened sweet tooths 😉 A smooth coconut panna cotta underneath a balanced grapefruit gelee. Loved the flavor combinations!! We used the below recipe with a grapefruit mint cold pressed juice from PRESSED JUICERY, and it was DIVINE!! We made these into 6 small glass cups but 4 ramekins would work perfectly, or any glass dessert glass would work as well for a great presentation. Add a dallop of coconut whipped cream and a sprig of mint and it couldn’t be any easier for parties 🙂 —Stacy
