Description: Before mangoes go completely out of season, I couldn’t resist trying this delightful panna cotta with some mango coulis and fresh and sweet mangoes as topping. A very refreshing dessert which can be so easily put together & prepared in advance. Try out the dairy free milk and coconut cream for a vegan version and it’s equally delicious.
