Ingredients

400 ml full-fat coconut milk
200 ml heavy cream
60 g sugar (or 2 tbsp maple syrup)
1 tsp vanilla extract (or seeds of 1 vanilla bean)
4 sheets white Gelantine

For the mango mirror:

1 large ripe mango (approx. 250 g flesh)
1–2 tsp lime juice
Optional: 1 tsp powdered sugar or honey (to taste)

Directions

Soften the gelatin:
Soak the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes, until soft.
Heat the coconut base (5 min):
In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Gently heat over medium heat to no more than 70 °C (160 °F) – do not boil!
→ Important: Gelatin loses its ability to set properly above 80 °C / 175 °F.
Dissolve the gelatin:
Remove the pot from the heat. Squeeze out the excess water from the gelatin and stir it into the hot (not boiling!) mixture until fully dissolved.
Fill and chill (at least 4 hr):
Pour the mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set.
Prepare the mango mirror (5 min):
Peel, pit and purée the mango until smooth. Add lime juice and sweeten to taste if needed.
Assemble & serve:
Spoon the mango purée gently over the firm panna cotta just before serving. Garnish with fresh mint, toasted coconut flakes or a touch of lime zest.
