Mango Mania

30 minServes 10

A silky, tropical mango panna cotta set with agar agar - vegan, naturally sweet, and gorgeous in little muffin-tin cups. The coconut cream gives it richness, the lemon brightens it, and a dash of turmeric adds a golden warmth. Make it ahead and serve chilled with grated ginger on top.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mango (frozen, thawed to room temp)
  • 1 can (5.4 oz / 160 ml) coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Dash of turmeric
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp agar agar flakes

Instructions

  1. 1Blend the mango, then pour into a pot with the coconut cream, lemon juice, honey, vanilla, and turmeric. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, for 5–7 minutes until little bubbles form and the mixture thickens slightly.
  2. 2While stirring the mango mixture, heat the water and agar agar in a separate pan over medium heat until the agar dissolves, about 3 minutes. The liquid will look foggy, not clear.
  3. 3Remove the mango mixture from heat and stir in the agar agar liquid.
  4. 4Pour into a 12-section muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full (fills about 10 sections). A pyrex measuring cup makes pouring easier.
  5. 5Chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with grated ginger and a few dashes of cinnamon.

Jennifer's tip

Allow frozen mango to thaw slowly on the counter rather than heating it - the texture will be smoother and more vibrant.
