Delicious Mango Panna Cotta Recipe - Creamy Italian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 packet gelatin powder (or 1 tbsp gelatin sheets)
  • 2 tbsp water (for blooming gelatin)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 mango for garnish (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine gelatin with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it swells.

    Ensure the water is cold for proper blooming.
  2. Heat Cream and Milk

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves, but do not boil.

    Stir continuously to prevent scorching.
  3. Add Gelatin

    Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.

    Make sure the mixture is not too hot when adding gelatin.
  4. Incorporate Mango Puree

    Mix in the mango puree and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Reserve some puree for topping if desired.
  5. Pour Into Molds

    Pour the mixture into individual serving molds and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

    Lightly grease molds for easier removal.
  6. Serve

    Once set, carefully unmold the panna cotta and garnish with fresh mango slices and mint leaves.

    Run a knife around the edges for easy removal.
