Description

A silky, nutty black sesame panna cotta served with a vibrant mango coulis for a striking flavor and visual contrast.


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:

  1. 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.
  2. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium until steaming but not boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar.
  3. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl; let bloom for 5 minutes. Stir into warm cream mixture until fully dissolved.
  4. Whisk in ground black sesame and vanilla extract. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any lumps.
  5. Pour mixture into 4 ramekins or glasses. Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  6. For mango coulis: blend mango, honey, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Strain if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
  7. To serve, run a knife around edges of panna cotta and unmold onto plates, or serve in glasses. Top with mango coulis.
