Description

Tropical Mango Panna Cotta is a creamy, dreamy dessert that captures the essence of summer with every luscious bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (preferably pure)
  • 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin powder over a small bowl of cold water and allow it to bloom for about five minutes.
  2. Heat the Cream Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  3. Incorporate Gelatin: Remove the cream mixture from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.
  4. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the creamy mixture into individual molds or serving glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours or until set.
  5. Make Mango Puree: While waiting for the panna cotta to set, blend fresh or canned mango until smooth, adjusting sweetness as needed.
  6. Serve: Once set, top each panna cotta with generous dollops of mango puree before serving.
