Coconut Mango Panna Cotta

A tropical twist on the classic Italian dessert, Coconut Mango Panna Cotta combines the creamy richness of coconut milk with the sweet and tangy flavor of ripe mangoes, creating a refreshing and elegant treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Pour the mixture into serving glasses or molds, filling them about two-thirds full. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  5. In a blender or food processor, blend the mango puree with lime juice until smooth.
  6. Once the panna cotta is set, spoon or pour the mango puree over the top of each serving.
  7. 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.
