Ingredients
Scale
For the Mango Layer:
- 2 cups ripe mango puree
- 1 teaspoon gelatin
- 2 tablespoons warm water
For the Cream Layer:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons gelatin
- 2 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
Mango Layer:
- Prepare the Mango Puree: Puree ripe mangoes in a blender until smooth to make about 2 cups of puree.
- Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of gelatin over 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. This process is called blooming and it helps the gelatin dissolve evenly.
- Combine Gelatin and Mango: Gently warm the mango puree in a saucepan over low heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the mango puree and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
- Set the Mango Layer: Pour the mango mixture into glasses or molds, tilting them slightly for a diagonal layer if desired. Place in the refrigerator and chill for about 4 hours, or until the layer is set.
Cream Layer:
- Bloom More Gelatin: In a separate bowl, bloom 1.5 teaspoons of gelatin in 2 tablespoons of warm water, similar to the first layer.
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture gently over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Avoid boiling.
- Combine Gelatin and Cream Mixture: Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Add Cream Layer to Set Mango Layer: Once the mango layer is set, gently pour the cream mixture over it. Be careful to not disturb the set mango layer.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the dessert for another 4 hours, or until the cream layer is firm.
Notes
Serve: Once set, serve the Mango Panna Cotta as is in the glasses or unmold onto plates if using molds. Garnish with fresh mango pieces, mint leaves, or edible flowers for an added touch.
