Description

This refreshing Mango Panna Cotta is a delightful Italian dessert with a tropical twist. Layers of smooth mango puree set with gelatin are topped with creamy, sweetened milk and cream mixture, creating a beautiful and elegant treat perfect for warm-weather gatherings or a special dessert.

Ingredients

Mango Layer

  • 2 cups mango puree
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons warm water

Cream Layer

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons warm water

Garnish

  • Fresh mango slices for topping

Instructions

  1. Bloom gelatin for mango layer: In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of warm water. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of gelatin over the water and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften.
  2. Heat mango puree with gelatin: Warm the mango puree in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Set mango layer: Tilt serving glasses at a 45-degree angle and pour in the mango mixture. Refrigerate for about 4 hours until set firmly.
  4. Bloom gelatin for cream layer: In another small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of warm water and sprinkle 1.5 teaspoons of gelatin over it. Let it bloom for 10 minutes.
  5. Prepare milk and cream mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until all sugar dissolves, but do not let it boil.
  6. Add gelatin to cream mixture: Remove from heat and mix in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes to room temperature.
  7. Pour cream layer over mango: Once the mango layer is set, gently pour the cooled milk and cream mixture on top.
  8. Chill until fully set: Refrigerate the glasses for at least 4 hours or until the panna cotta layers are firm.
  9. Serve: Garnish with fresh mango slices and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • Use fully ripe mangoes for the best flavor in the puree.
  • Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps.
  • Do not boil the milk and cream mixture to prevent curdling.
  • Tilting the glasses when setting the mango layer creates a beautiful angled effect that’s visually appealing.
  • This dessert can be prepared up to two days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
