Ingredients
Scale
For the Coconut Layer:
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk, divided
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Mango Layer:
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
For Garnish:
- Fresh mango slices
- Toasted coconut flakes (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Bloom that gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes until spongy. This step prevents lumps and is crucial for smooth panna cotta.
- Make the coconut base: Heat 1/2 cup of coconut milk until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
- Combine the coconut layer: Whisk together the remaining coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add the warm coconut milk and gelatin mixture, whisking until sugar is dissolved.
- Create your mango puree: Blend diced mango with lime juice, sugar, and lime zest until smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- First layer magic: Divide the coconut mixture among 6 serving glasses, filling them halfway. Refrigerate for about 2 hours until set.
- Add the mango layer: Spoon mango puree over each portion. Create swirls for a marbled effect or keep layers clean for an elegant look.
- The final chill: Refrigerate for at least 3 more hours, or overnight for best results.
- Serve like a pro: Garnish with mango slices, toasted coconut flakes, and mint leaves before serving.
