Ingredients
  

for Cream Layer

  • 1 caup (14 oz) coconut milk unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 tbsp agar-agar

for Mango Layer

  • 1-1/2 cup mango puree, (I used 1-1/2 mango, mango should not be over ripe)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar use as needed depend on sweetness of mango
  • 1-1/2 tbsp agar-agar

Also need a setting/serving dish

  • I am using 5-1/2” x 7-1/2” pyrex/glass rectangle dish. You can also make them in individual serving bowls or glasses.

Instructions
 

For Cream Layer

  • In a sauce pan add the coconut milk and sugar, bring it to boil over medium heat. Boil for 3-4 minutes.
  • Dissolve agar-agar in two tablespoons of luke warm water, add agar-agar and vanilla to coconut milk, boil for about 2 minutes, mixing continuously making sure there are no lumps. Turn off the heat.
  • Whisk the milk for a few minutes and pour into the dish. Let this sit for about 25 minutes before adding the mango layer. Note: as coconut will cool it will be getting firm like jello, before adding the mango layer coconut layer should be firm but not settled all the way completely.

For Mango Layer

  • In a sauce pan add the mango puree, sugar and lemon juice and bring it to boil over medium heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Dissolve agar-agar in two tablespoons of luke warm water, add agar-agar to the mango pulp, boil for about 2 minutes mixing continuously, making sure there are no lumps.
  • Turn off the heat, whisk for few minutes.
  • Pour the mango puree over coconut, coconut milk should be little firm.
  • Refrigerate for about three hours before serving. Slice the panna cotta in individual serving pieces. White and yellow makes this look beautiful.
  • Mango panna cotta can be refrigerated for 5-6 days. Enjoy!

    Thanks! This was so good! I’m glad I took the time to make it. I used dried agar-agar strands instead of powder and it worked fine, but had longer boiling/more stirring to dissolve the strands completely.
