Panna Cotta with Mango Lemon Gelée (パンナコッタマンゴーレモンジュレ乗せ)

by Kanten Canada April 27, 2021

Panna Cotta (パンナコッタ), a chilled dessert popular throughout Italy, is easy to make and can be prepared in advance. It looks and tastes wonderful with red fruits such as raspberries or strawberries, or tropical fruits like mangos.

Gelatin is usually used for making a Panna cotta, however today, I would like to share with you my simple healthy panna cotta and a topping gelée. Of course KANTEN is alternatively used as a coagulation agent for both desserts.

Please stay healthy and enjoy your spring with some healthy desserts♡

-Milk (牛乳) 400ml
-Sugar (砂糖) 4tbsp
-Vanilla essence (バニラエッセンス) 2drops

*To shorten the time, you can also warm up them to room temperature in microwave for 15-20 seconds.

[Instructions]

1. In a pan, mix milk, sugar and kanten powder and turn on the heat to medium.
2. Boil the mix until kanten becomes completely dissolved with medium to low heat (3-4 minutes after boiling).
3. Turn down the heat and add whipped cream and stir well.
4. Turn off the heat and drop vallina essence, and then drain the mix to a bowl.
*To give the panna cotta a smooth texture, the draining step is important!
5. Pour the mix into cups and chill in the fridge.
・・・In the meanwhile, let's prepare mango Lemon Gelee!
