A Sweet Treat to Celebrate Summer

Panna cotta is a no-bake, eggless dessert that is creamy, velvet smooth, and incredibly easy to make! This silky, custard-like dessert pairs well with fresh fruit, a compote of baked fruits, or even just a spoonful of fruit preserves or homemade jam. Using mango puree to make this elegant and delicious Italian recipe results in a throwback to a hot tropical summer vacation for your tastebuds. Enjoy a delightful serving of Mango Panna Cotta for a refreshing finish to your meal.

Ingredients:

• Milk (1 cup): Provides the creamy base for the panna cotta.
• Heavy Cream (1 1/4 cups): Adds richness and a velvety texture.
• Mango Puree (3/4 cup): Brings a tropical flavor and natural sweetness.
• White Sugar (1/4 cup): Sweetens the dessert.
• Powdered Unflavored Gelatin (3 tsp): Helps set the panna cotta.
• Vanilla (1 tsp, optional): Adds a hint of vanilla flavor.
• Cold Water (6 Tbsp): Used to dissolve the gelatin.

Steps:

1. Heat the Mixture: Start by heating the milk, heavy cream, and sugar in a pot on medium heat. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
2. Prepare the Gelatin: Lightly oil a mold (or cups) with a neutral-tasting vegetable oil. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a medium-sized bowl and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Combine and Mix: Pour the very warm panna cotta mixture over the gelatin and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Mix in the mango puree.
4. Chill: Pour the mixture into the mold and chill for 2 to 4 hours.
5. Serve: To serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of the panna cotta and unmold onto a serving plate. Serve cold.
