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
- 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.
- 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.
- 3Remove the mango mixture from heat and stir in the agar agar liquid.
- 4Pour into a 12-section muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full (fills about 10 sections). A pyrex measuring cup makes pouring easier.
- 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.
