- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
- 3 tbsp water (for blooming gelatin)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Fresh mango slices (optional, for garnish)
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into serving glasses or molds, filling them about two-thirds full. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the mango puree with lime juice until smooth.
- Once the panna cotta is set, spoon or pour the mango puree over the top of each serving.
- Chill for another 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh mango slices and mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the panna cotta.
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- Can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
