A silky, creamy panna cotta infused with fresh mango puree, perfect for a light and indulgent summer dessert that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream (480 ml)
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65 g)
  • 2 ½ teaspoons gelatin powder (about 7 g)
  • 3 tablespoons cold water (45 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large ripe mangoes (about 2 cups or 300 g puree), peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (15 g), optional
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 ½ teaspoons of gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms and becomes spongy.
  2. Place peeled and chopped mangoes into a blender. Add powdered sugar and lime juice, then blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, and ⅓ cup sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5 minutes).
  4. Remove the cream mixture from heat. Add bloomed gelatin and whisk thoroughly until fully dissolved. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour half of the cream mixture into the mango puree and mix gently but thoroughly. Pour this mango-cream mix back into the remaining cream mixture and stir to combine smoothly.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly into 4-6 serving glasses or ramekins. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Once set, serve chilled as is or with an extra mango slice, fresh mint, or a drizzle of coconut cream.

Notes

Bloom gelatin fully in cold water before adding to warm cream to avoid lumps. Do not boil the cream mixture to preserve gelatin setting ability. For dairy-free version, substitute cream and milk with full-fat coconut milk. Overnight chilling yields best texture. If panna cotta doesn’t set, check gelatin quality and avoid boiling gelatin.
