Method

1.To poach pears, add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat and cover with water. Bring to a gentle boil then simmer for 20-25 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated and the pears are in a lovely sweet syrup.
2.To prepare panna cottas, place all ingredients (except coconut flakes) in a high-powered food processor or blender. Process until smooth, then spoon into small glasses, jars or bowls.
3.Top with poached pear and syrup and a sprinkle of coconut flakes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. If making a day ahead, add pear, syrup and coconut flakes just before serving.
