Add the coconut cream and simmer until the it begins to thicken slightly.

Blend the hot mixture into a smooth 'soup'.

Adjust the seasoning with salt and white pepper then pass through a sieve.

Soften the gelatine in cold water until soft the 'ring' out the excess water before placing it into the soup.
