Print Recipe

A silky, tropical dessert combining creamy coconut milk and fresh mango puree, easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups ripe mango puree (about 2 large mangoes, peeled and chopped)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free option
  • ⅓ cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (about 7 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: toasted coconut flakes, fresh mango chunks, mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the mangoes, then puree them in a blender until smooth. For silkier panna cotta, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve. Set aside 1 ½ cups of mango puree.
  2. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of gelatin powder over ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until soft and spongy.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Warm over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (about 170°F/75°C). Remove from heat.
  4. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and stir gently until completely dissolved.
  5. Pour in the mango puree and lime juice, stirring gently to combine evenly.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly into 6 small ramekins or dessert cups. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight until set with a gentle wobble.
  8. Before serving, garnish with toasted coconut flakes, fresh mango chunks, or mint leaves as desired.

Notes

Bloom gelatin in cold water before adding to warm cream mixture to ensure proper setting. Avoid boiling the cream mixture to prevent grainy texture. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. For vegan version, replace gelatin with agar agar and heavy cream with coconut cream following agar agar package instructions. Adjust gelatin by ¼ teaspoon increments if panna cotta is too firm or soft.
