How to Make Creamy Vanilla Panna Cotta with Mango Sauce
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- While the panna cotta sets, prepare the mango sauce. In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, lime juice, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Once the panna cotta is set, carefully pour a layer of mango sauce over each serving. You can reserve some sauce for serving on the side.
- Garnish with extra mango pieces or mint leaves if desired, and serve chilled.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your gelatin is fresh for optimal setting.
- Allow the panna cotta to set overnight for the best texture.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the mango sauce based on your preference.
Easy Variations
