Instructions
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for about five minutes.
- Combine the whole milk, whipping cream, coconut cream, and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan.
- Split and scrape the two vanilla beans, adding both the seeds and the pods to the mixture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins steaming.
- Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove the vanilla pods.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared serving cups, filling them about halfway.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Peel and dice the mangos, and blend until smooth, adding lemon juice and ¼ cup of granulated sugar.
- Bloom the remaining 1 ½ teaspoon of gelatin in 2 tablespoons of water.
- Dissolve by gently heating it in the microwave if needed.
- Combine the mango puree with ½ to ¾ cup of water and stir in the dissolved gelatin until completely incorporated.
- Allow the puree to cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled panna cotta.
- Return to the refrigerator to set for an additional 2 hours or until firm.
- Whip the heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Spoon this whipped cream over the mango layer, garnishing with fresh passion fruit seeds.
- Serve the Mango Vanilla Panna Cotta chilled.
