Ingredients
Panna cotta
- 1.25 cups full fat coconut milk (270 g)
- 1 cup almond milk (250 ml)
- 4 tbsp black sesame paste
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 5 g agar agar powder (about 1 tbsp)
Mango coulis
- 1 large mango (yield about 250 grams)
- 3 to 4 tbsp maple syrup
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add the coconut milk, almond milk, black sesame paste and sugar in a blender, and blend to combine.
- Whisk the agar agar powder in a small quantity of the mixture in a bowl to dissolve.
- Pour the remaining of the liquid in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. When the liquid starts to bubble, pour the agar agar preparation and stir with a whisk to incorporate. Keep the mixture bubbling for 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and pour the mixture equally into small glass jars. Allow to cool for 15 minutes at room temperature, then transfer the Panna cotta to the fridge for 2 hours to set.
- Meanwhile, prepare the mango coulis. Peel and chop the mango. Blend the mango with maple and lemon juice until perfectly smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness. Store in the fridge.
- When serving, pour the mango coulis on the Panna Cotta and garnish with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.
Notes
- Storage – Cover the Panna Cotta with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Coconut milk – For a rich and creamy Panna Cotta, I recommend to use full-fat coconut milk with at least 85% of coconut content.
- Agar agar – Use a scale to precisely weight the agar agar powder, rather than relying on tablespoon measurement. The quantity of agar agar can significantly change the final texture of the Panna Cotta.
