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.
Ingredients:
Mango Coulis
- 400g mango pulp (fresh, frozen or tinned)
- lemon/lime juice (from 1/2 small lemon or 1 small lime)
