Mango Panna Cotta

Mango panna cotta is creamy, fruity, and delightful. It originated in Northern Italy and said to have been invented by a Hungarian woman in the early 1900’s. Since then, it has made it’s way into kitchens around the world. The dish is not difficult to make, although it can be a bit time consuming. I often make it up when I have company over, and it’s always a hit. As always, give it a try and let us know what you think.

There are a few tips to making this tasty dessert. First, the dish does not have to be a mango panna cotta. It can just be plain panna cotta or you can add the syrup or fruit puree of your choice. I love mangoes, but strawberry or blueberry would be nice, as well.

When making the mango puree it’s not really necessary to add sugar depending on where you are located. For example, I lived in the Philippines for two years and found the mangoes there delightful. I North America, however, I find they are a bit on the sour side. You can be the judge.

You can adjust the ingredients in the panna cotta too. If you want it sweeter, simply add a little more sugar. If you want it creamier, add heavier cream. You could also add flavored gelatin too if you wish.
