Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1/2 cup black sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Toast black sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Let cool, then grind into a fine powder in a spice grinder.
- In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium until steaming but not boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl; let bloom for 5 minutes. Stir into warm cream mixture until fully dissolved.
- Whisk in ground black sesame and vanilla extract. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any lumps.
- Pour mixture into 4 ramekins or glasses. Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
- For mango coulis: blend mango, honey, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Strain if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
- To serve, run a knife around edges of panna cotta and unmold onto plates, or serve in glasses. Top with mango coulis.
