Instructions

  1. Place 6 dessert glasses on a rimmed baking sheet.

  7. Gradually add the warm cream mixture, whisking to combine well. Transfer mixture to a pourable container.
  8. Evenly divide mixture into dessert glasses. Cover each glass with plastic wrap and carefully transfer to refrigerator. Let chill until set, 4 to 6 hours.
  9. In a bowl, toss blueberries with agave nectar; set aside for 30 minutes.
  10. To finish, divide the blueberries on top of panna cotta and garnish with toasted coconut.
