Bonjour mes belles,

Last Friday we ate at one of my favourite restaurants in Bordeaux and the dessert of the day was mango panna cotta. It really was delicious and I thought that it is the type of dessert that I could make easily so searched and found this recipe....


Mango Panna Cotta

Ingredients
1 pouch (1/4 oz/7 g) unflavoured gelatin
1/2 cup (125 mL) Milk
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) 35 % cream
2 tbsp (30 mL) packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground ginger
1 cup (250 mL) sweetened canned mango puree
Cinnamon-sugar
 
 

Preparation

In a measuring cup or bowl, sprinkle gelatin over milk; let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, gently whisk together cream, sugar, cinnamon and ginger; heat just until bubbles form around the edge. Remove from heat.
Stir in gelatin mixture, stirring to dissolve gelatin. Whisk in mango puree. Pour into six ramekins or custard cups; tap each dish on the counter lightly to release any air bubbles. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours or for up to 1 day.
To serve, set ramekins in a shallow dish half-filled with hot water for 1 to 2 minutes. Wipe dishes dry, run a knife around the edge of custard and invert onto serving plates to unmold. Serve sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar.

Tip
Canned mango puree, often made from Alfonso mangos can be found with Indian foods in supermarkets or specialty stores.
Variation: If you have very ripe fresh mangos, use 1 large or 2 Atulfo or Alfonso mangos in place of the canned puree. Increase brown sugar to 1/4 cup (60 mL). Peel mango and puree with sugar.
 
très bon vendredi à tous, Leeann

  2. I do love panna cotta but I can't say that I really like mangos,
    maybe this would be a way to change my mind about them!
