Tasty @CafeOn Mango Panna Cotta Recipe

The panna cotta is creamy, rich, and indulgent. A silky smooth treat that is perfect for any hot summer day. I serve mine with some fresh mangoes.

This mango panna cotta is a layer of sweet cream infused with mango puree. You can make the puree by blending fresh Aam together. This way, you get a rich mango flavor and it carries through it all. If you’d like, you can skip the different layers and just infuse all the cream with mango puree. I like the presentation of the two layers but it is optional. 

INGREDIENTS

•  2 cups mango puree
•  2.5 teaspoons gelatin, divided
•  1 cup whole milk
•  1 cup heavy cream
•  1/2 cup granulated sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR MANGO LAYER

1. In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of warm water. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of
   gelatin over the water and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan set over low heat, warm the mango puree and gelatin
   that you prepared above. Mix until well combined and gelatin dissolves.  
3. Tilt your glasses to about 45 degrees and then pour in the mango puree
   and let it set in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.

FOR CREAM LAYER

1. In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of warm water. Sprinkle the remaining 1.5 teaspoons of gelatin over the water and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the milk, sugar, and cream. Bring to a gentle simmer till all the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
3. Add the prepared gelatin to the milk mixture. Mix well until dissolved. Let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.
4. Before you pour in the milk mixture, make sure that the mango puree has set well.
5. Pour in the milk mixture and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
6. Serve with more fresh Aam on top.

ALTERNATIVELY (NO LAYERS):

1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and gelatin dissolve.
2. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 mins.
3. Divide mixture into 6-ounce ramekins. Chill the panna cotta in the fridge for at least 4 hours until set.
4. Serve with fresh mangoes.
