- 2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons water
Ingredients for Mango Coulis:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions:
For the Coconut Panna Cotta:
- In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to steam.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the coconut milk mixture from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
- Divide the mixture evenly into 6 ramekins or serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the panna cotta is set.
For the Mango Coulis:
- In a blender or food processor, puree the diced mangoes until smooth.
- Transfer the mango puree to a saucepan and add the sugar, water, and lime juice.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the coulis cool to room temperature.
To serve, gently unmold the panna cotta onto a plate or serving dish, and drizzle the mango coulis over the top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or slices of mango for an extra tropical touch.
