Description
At its core, a mango lassi gummy panna cotta is an innovative crossover dessert that brings together two iconic culinary traditions from opposite sides of the globe. It transforms the liquid comfort of a classic mango lassi into a sliced or molded chilled dessert that holds its shape beautifully while remaining extraordinarily smooth and creamy.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Mango Lassi Panna Cotta
- 1½ cups ripe mango purée
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- 1½ tsp powdered gelatin
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
- Pinch of salt
For the topping
- ½ cup diced fresh mango
- 2 tbsp crushed pistachios
- 1–2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- Fresh mint leaves, optional
- Small pinch of cardamom
Instructions
- Prepare the gelatin
Place the cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over it. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to bloom. - Warm the cream mixture
Add the heavy cream and sugar to a small saucepan. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling. - Add the gelatin
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. - Make the lassi mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together the mango purée, Greek yogurt, vanilla, cardamom, lemon or lime juice, and salt. - Combine
Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the mango-yogurt mixture while whisking gently until smooth and well combined. - Pour into molds
Divide the mixture among 4–6 small glasses, ramekins, or silicone molds. - Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set. The finished panna cotta should be soft, creamy, and slightly springy—similar to a delicate gummy texture. - Garnish and serve
Top with diced mango, crushed pistachios, coconut, and a tiny pinch of cardamom. Add fresh mint if desired.
