Ingredients

Mango Puree

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

Instructions

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.

Panna Cotta

  • In a small saucepan, add milk and powdered gelatin and wait 10 minutes.
  • Raise heat to medium, add sugar and stir several minutes to dissolve.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the cream, vanilla and salt.
  • Once at room temperature, pour into the glasses enough to cover mango. Chill for 1-2 hours until set.
  • Garnish with optional raspberries and diced mango. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute half and half milk for heavy cream if you prefer a lighter version.
  • As we've received many questions about gelatin conversion, use the table to determine the correct amount of gelatin:
