The panna cotta is creamy, rich, and indulgent. A silky smooth treat that is perfect for any hot summer day. I serve mine with some fresh mangoes.
This mango panna cotta is a layer of sweet cream infused with mango puree. You can make the puree by blending fresh Aam together. This way, you get a rich mango flavor and it carries through it all. If you’d like, you can skip the different layers and just infuse all the cream with mango puree. I like the presentation of the two layers but it is optional.Â
