Make sure to soften the gelatin before adding it to the mixture. If you add the gelatin to the hot mixture without softening it first, it will clump up and not dissolve properly. To soften the gelatin, simply sprinkle it over a small amount of cold milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding it to the mixture.
-
Use whole milk and heavy cream for the creamiest and most luxurious texture. If you don't have whole milk or heavy cream, you can use a combination of milk and heavy cream or a high-fat milk like whole milk or 2% milk. However, keep in mind that the texture may not be as rich and creamy as it would be with whole milk and heavy cream.
-
Use fresh or frozen mangoes for the puree and garnish. If using fresh mangoes, make sure to peel and chop them before pureeing. If using frozen mangoes, thaw them before pureeing. You can also use store-bought mango puree if it's not available or you don't have time to make it from scratch.
-
Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly. If you don't have time to wait that long, you can place the panna cotta in the freezer for a few hours, but keep in mind that it will have a softer texture when it's thawed.
-
Garnish the panna cotta with chopped mangoes and pistachios before serving, if desired. This adds a pop of color and flavor, and it makes the panna cotta look even more appealing. You can also use other fruit or nuts for the garnish, depending on your preference.
