Panna Cotta
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin powder see note
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream see note
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings - optional
- 1/2 cup diced mango
- 1/2 cup fresh berries
Mango Puree
Add mango flesh to a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
In a small bowl, add mango juice and sprinkle gelatin on top. Wait 5 minutes for gelatin to soften and then mix with a spoon.
Microwave mango juice for 1 minute on high power. Stir again for one minute until gelatin has dissolved.
Set stemless wine glasses or tumblers in a muffin tin on an angle. If the glasses slide, place a tea towel underneath to stabilize.
Mix together the mango puree and mango juice mixture. Pour into glasses to a half inch below the rim, and chill in position at least 2 hours to set.
