ABOUT THIS PANNA COTTA
Firstly, this has a smooth and creamy texture
Also, has a mild coconut flavor and a burst of mango flavors
Made with real mango and coconut cream, as a result no readymade flavoring added
Layered Mango Pannacotta
These little shots of coconut and mango are the perfect dessert for tropical lovers. Initially, I thought of creating these dessert shots for a Hawaiin theme party but then couldn’t wait that long and decided to do it immediately (Well !! I’m always hasty)
I just love the way these panna cotta shots turned out. They look too gorgeous to dig into but well, you cannot miss the creamy flavor and tropical weather that adds on to the feel.
LET’S TALK INGREDIENTS – Creamy Mango Panna cotta recipe
Coconut
Firstly, this recipe contains coconut as an important ingredient. As a result, I like to use coconut cream. It’s thick and has a fair amount of coconut flavor. However, you can use coconut milk. But coconut cream is a better version of it.
Mango
I do not advice using the readymade canned mango pulp since it contains artificial flavors. I like to puree fresh Alphonso mangoes, nothing can beat the fresh version but well, if no options left then readymade it is.
Also, mangoes may sometimes be really sweet and sometimes not so sweet. Thus, you need to adjust the quantity of sugar accordingly.
Gelatin
Firstly, this is the thickening ingredient. Thus, gelatin is what gives the pannacotta its texture. I need you to know that if you add less gelatin, the pannacotta won’t set and if you add more of it, it would turn too firm and that’s something any of us won’t like. So be careful !!
This layered mango pannacotta or mango pudding is a delicious dessert you must try if you’re a mango lover
How to set the pannacotta like in the images ??
Well !! The way it looked is what tempted me to make these pannacotta shots. The slant angle is what makes it look different.
To acquire this look place the empty pannacotta glasses in such a way that the glasses are at an angle at the same time do not move or fall off while being filled with the unset pannacotta. I placed my glasses on a muffin baking tray at an angle. To make sure they do not move, I stuck a small piece of tape from the glass to the muffin tray. This made sure the glasses don’t move while the pannacotta sets in the refrigerator.
You can use any other method that pops into your head to set the pannacotta glasses at an angle. Once the 1st layer (Mango layer) is set you can keep the glasses upright and set the 2nd layer (white layer)

This has been my go-to panna cotta recipe for months now. So creamy and a crowd pleaser!
Ah !! So glad to know .. Thankyou !!
How many shooters does this recipe make? Each time I have made this, the pannacotta portion was way less that the mango portion. I end up doubling the pancetta. Any idea what may be the reason?
Hello .. It totally depends on the portion size your preparing. Some use bigger shooters and some small. You may adjust the quantity of the panna cotta as per requirement
I seemed to have too much mango and not enough coconut for the glasses to be half of each.
Delicious though! Thanks!
Would this work with pineapple instead of mango?
Yes .. Go ahead
Made it this past weekend and recipe was a hit. I did triple the amount since it was a big event and put this in tiny mason jars.
Pros: the mango flavor was on point, texture was GREAT and very silky/custardy, this wasn’t overly sweet and was very easy to make. Will definitely make this again.
Cons: I personally would have liked more of a coconut taste so instead of heavy cream I might use coconut milk (thoughts?). My guests however, both coconut lovers and non-coconut lovers LOVED this dessert. I also didn’t have enough of the coconut layer, but had LOTS of mango – probably didn’t divide properly.
Hi Karina ..
Thankyou for the review … So happy your guest loved it, I’m sure you did a good job that’s y it was a hit.
You may add thick coconut milk instead of heavy cream. But if your someone looking out for more coconutty flavors. I’d recommend following the exact same recipe and just adding a few drops of coconut essence to the the white coconut mixture. This makes a difference and works well too. Just a few drops
Made it yesterday. Super yummy and easy to make. Loved it. Thank you.
Oh great .. Happy u liked it

You could substitute it with agar agar powder
