Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract)
- 2 envelopes (14g) unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup mango juice or puree
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare Gelatin Mixture:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it blooms.
- Prepare Panna Cotta Base:
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds (or vanilla extract). Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Incorporate Gelatin:
- Add the bloomed gelatin mixture into the warm cream mixture, stirring until completely dissolved.

- Prepare Mango Puree:
- In a blender, combine the diced mangoes and mango juice or puree. Blend until smooth.
- Layering:
- Pour a thin layer of the mango puree into serving glasses or molds, about 1/4 of the way up. Place them in the refrigerator to set for about 10-15 minutes.
- Adding Panna Cotta Mixture:
- Once the mango layer is set, pour the cooled panna cotta mixture gently over the mango layer, filling each glass or mold almost to the top. Return to the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve:
- Once set, you can serve the Mango Vanilla Panna Cotta directly in the glasses or unmold them onto serving plates. Garnish with additional mango slices or mint leaves if desired.
