What is a Panna Cotta?
Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert that is translated as cooked heavy cream. It is made with sugar, milk, cream and gelatine. Panna Cotta cannot be made without gelatine as the cream would not set. It simply takes 15 minutes to prepare this amazingly delicious and decadent dessert and can be made ahead of time. It lasts well for a few days in the fridge.
This easy Mango Panna Cotta is creamy, fruity and sweet. Perfect dessert for any occasion that nobody can resist!
Panna Cotta Variations
The flavours and variations for a Panna Cotta are endless. From a plain vanilla to a fruity flavour such as strawberry or mango or simply coffee. To give it a particular fruit flavour add the puree to the milk and cream mixture or the chopped fruit chunks. For this recipe as the mango season is in season, I have used mango chunks but you can also use mango puree instead. Some other options are blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, coffee syrup, cinnamon and cardamom.
Why should you use mangoes?
I have used mangoes because it’s raining mangoes in our house. We have a huge mango tree in our backyard and those are the best mangoes I’ve ever eaten. They are sweet and juicy! But mangoes have a lot of added benefits too.
- Mangoes provide 2/3 of your daily Vitamin C, 35% of Vitamin A and 12% of fibre.
- Mangoes are also cholesterol free and fat free, making them a perfect snack anytime of the day.
- It also contains folate, B6, iron and a little calcium, zinc and vitamin E.
