Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • ¼ cup Water Essential for dissolving gelatine; no substitutions.
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Gelatine Helps set the panna cotta; alternative: use agar agar powder (half as much).
  • ½ cup Sugar Adds sweetness; substitute with honey or a sugar alternative if desired.
For the Flavor
  • 1 cup Mango Purée Provides the tropical flavor; use fresh ripe mangoes or canned (check for added sugar).
  • 1 cup Thickened Cream (Heavy Cream) Contributes to the creamy texture; substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds aromatic flavor; omit if using flavored cream.

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Ramekins or small dessert cups
  • whisk

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by sprinkling powdered gelatine over ¼ cup of cold water in a small saucepan. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 3 minutes to soften. Then, gently heat the mixture over low heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until the gelatine is completely dissolved.
  2. Next, add ½ cup of sugar to the dissolved gelatine while stirring until fully dissolved. Then, pour in 1 cup of mango purée followed by 1 cup of thickened cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk to blend together gently for about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Once your mixture is well-blended, it’s time to pour it into serving vessels. Carefully ladle the creamy mango mixture into ramekins or small dessert cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
  4. Place the filled ramekins in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 3 hours, or until they are set. The panna cotta should have a firm, yet softly wobbly consistency when ready.
