Step-by-Step Recipe: How to Make Mango Panacota at Home
Creating homemade mango pana cota is simpler than it looks. Follow these steps for a silky, chilled dessert that’s full of flavour:
1. Prepare the Mango Puree:
Peel and dice 1- 2 ripe mangoes. Blend them into a smooth puree using a blender. For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the puree through a fine sieve. Set aside.
2. Bloom the Gelatin:
In a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons of cold water. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavoured gelatin evenly over it. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom and soften.
3. Heat the Cream Mixture:
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Heat gently over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil.
4. Incorporate the Gelatin:
Remove the cream mixture from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it completely dissolves. Make sure the mixture is warm enough to melt the gelatin but not too hot to avoid curdling.
5. Combine and Mix:
Allow the cream mixture to cool slightly. Then gently fold in the mango puree and mix until the blend is smooth and uniform.
6. Set and Chill:
Pour the mixture into dessert moulds or serving glasses. Tap gently to remove air bubbles. Refrigerate for 4–6 hours, or until the pana cota is fully set.
Serve your mango panacota chilled, topped with fresh mango slices or mint leaves for an elegant finish. Whether you're just learning how to make panacota or looking to perfect it, this mango version offers a stunningly simple and flavourful twist.
