mango panna cotta recipe – smooth velvety vegetarian panna cotta made with mangoes.
this famous italian dessert is hubby's favorite dessert and i do make them occasionally. when the season of mangoes arrive, i make this variation of mango panna cotta with alphonso mangoes. i have been making the panna cotta for some years now. just that the recipes never got to the blog. along with this version, i also make strawberry panna cotta and the regular vanilla panna cotta.
panna cotta means "cooked cream" in italian. its a softly set pudding which is creamy yet firm. generally gelatin is used to set this pudding. panna cotta can be wholly made with cream or with a combination of cream, milk and fruits.
the thickening & setting ingredient in this vegetarian mango panna cotta is agar agar and not gelatin. agar agar is also added in the flavored china grass that are available in the stores. agar agar strands and powder are available easily in indian metro cities.
making panna cotta is easy. i have used alphonso mangoes to make the mango pulp. use any good quality sweet mangoes. just make sure they are not fibrous. for the cream, i used amul cream which is a low fat cream.
lets start step by step vegetarian mango panna cotta recipe:
1. first chop the agar agar strands in small pieces and soak them in warm water for 10 mins. use kitchen scissors to chop the agar agar strands. remember to chop the agar agar in small or tiny pieces.
2. meanwhile chop and then make a smooth puree of the mangoes in a blender.
3. mix cream, milk and sugar in a pan or sauce pan and keep it on the stove top. stir with a wired whisk. the sugar should dissolve completely. keep on stirring at intervals while the cream mixture comes to a gentle boil.
4. also at the same time, keep the agar agar and water solution on the stove top. keep on stirring the agar agar solution and let it cook till the agar agar strands are dissolved.
5. the cream+milk+sugar mixture should just gently come to a boil. switch off the flame.
6. the agar agar has also dissolved by now.
7. mix the hot agar agar solution into the hot cream+milk+sugar mixture and stir very well with a wired whisk.
8. wait for about 5 mins till the panna cotta mixture becomes less hot. then add the mango puree and vanilla extract.
9. stir and mix very well.
10. pour the mango panna cotta in serving bowls. cover the serving bowls with a lid or aluminium foil and place them in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours till they are set.
11. while serving, top the serving bowls with some chopped mango pieces or garnish with mint leaves and serve mango panna cotta chilled.
