Refreshing Mango Panna cotta - A simple, beautiful dessert that tastes like summer in a glass.
This week is my boyfriend's birthday, and everyyearit gives me a little stress because I always feel like I have to outdo the previous years. Not only when it comes to gifts (I got him brand new beautiful Running Shoes) but also when it comes to the actual day.
Neither of us is very fond of large parties, so we always try to find something else to do on our birthdays. We have done things like going to a theme park, attending a concert or something a little out of the ordinary.
This year though I am completely out of ideas. It feels like we have pretty much done everything inand around our area (within our budget at least). So I am truly struggling to come up with something creative that he will truly enjoy and that will make his day special. One of the things I have planned is to make a delicious meal with a few of his favourite things and this absolutely delicious Refreshing Mango Panna Cotta.
Why you'll love this panna cotta recipe
ThisRefreshing Mango Panna Cotta is simply perfect, the smooth panna cotta layer is perfectly balanced with the naturally sweet mango layer. Mmmm... yum!
What I love about panna cotta is how it is almost not sweet at all, but simply delicate and creamy. And then balancing it out with a beautiful fruit like mango is pure perfection.
I love the combination of the creaminess with the fruit, it is similar to the Vegan Passionfruit Panna Cottaand the Vanilla Raspberry Panna Cotta (which by the way is still one of the top recipes here on Baking-Ginger) but instead of the almost tangy flavours of the passionfruit or raspberry, it has that sweet tropical flavour from the mango.
Refreshing Mango Panna Cotta not only tastes delicious, but it always looks beautiful and will pretty much impress anybody. Because it looks fancy without having to do tons of effort or having mad pastry skills ;).
I hope you love thisRefreshing Mango Panna Cottarecipe as much as I do. And if you want to see more of my food adventures, follow me onInstagramorFacebook.
