Panna cotta, the famous Italian dessert, can be prepared not only with berries, but also with mango. Thanks to this fruit, the dessert will acquire a bright tropical taste and sunny color. Panna cotta with mango is prepared according to a traditional recipe from classic ingredients: cream, sugar and gelatin, and at the end, mango puree is added to the dessert. Before cooking, gelatin must be poured with water so that it swells.

How to cook Panna Cotta with Mango

Step 1

Prepare panna cotta. Combine cream and milk, add 2 tbsp. sugar and put on the fire. Bring to a boil. Then add the swollen gelatin to the hot creamy mass. Stir until the gelatin dissolves. Pour into bowls and put in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours so that the dessert hardens.

Step 2

Make mango puree. To do this, use a blender to turn the mango into puree. Add 2 tbsp. sugar and starch. Heat slightly so that the puree thickens slightly.

Step 3

Assemble the dessert. Take the panna cotta out of the refrigerator. Spread the mango puree on top of the frozen dessert. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Panna Cotta with Mango - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use agar-agar instead of gelatin for a vegetarian version?

Yes, agar-agar is a great vegetarian substitute. Use 1 tsp powdered agar-agar dissolved in water as a 1:1 replacement for gelatin.

How long can I store leftover panna cotta in the fridge?

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The mango puree is best added fresh before serving.

Can I use coconut milk instead of dairy for a lactose-free version?

Absolutely! Full-fat coconut milk works well, but reduce added sugar slightly as it's naturally sweeter.

What's the best way to unmold panna cotta if using ramekins?

Dip ramekins in hot water for 10 seconds, then run a knife around the edge before inverting onto a plate.

Can I freeze panna cotta for later use?

Freezing isn't recommended as it changes the creamy texture. Gelatin desserts tend to weep when thawed.

How can I make this dessert lower in sugar?

Reduce sugar in both layers by half, or use erythritol. Ripe mangoes add natural sweetness.

Can I use frozen mango for the puree?

Yes, thaw frozen mango first. You may need to reduce liquid by cooking longer or adding extra starch.

What other fruits work well instead of mango?

Passion fruit, raspberries, or strawberries make excellent alternatives with similar vibrant flavors.

How many servings does this recipe make?

About 4 standard portions (½ cup each). Double quantities easily for more servings.

Can I make individual layers instead of topping?

Yes! Let panna cotta set, then carefully pour cooled mango mixture on top for cleaner layers.
