Velvety vanilla panna cotta topped with a vibrant mango gelée - a luscious chilled pudding. The creamy base melts in your mouth, while the tropical mango layer adds a bright, fruity contrast. Light yet indulgent, it's the perfect make-ahead dessert for summer dinners or festive occasions. Serve in glass jars or unmoulded for an elegant touch.
Pour the milk into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the surface in an even layer. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to absorb the liquid and bloom.

Purée the Mangoes
Peel and chop the mangoes, discarding the stones. In a blender or food processor, purée the mango flesh until completely smooth. Pass the purée through a fine sieve to remove any fibres. Measure out 400 mL (1 1/2 cups) mango purée. Reserve any extra for another use.

Make the Mango Gelée
In a small saucepan, combine the mango purée, sugar and water. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Then, set the pan over low heat and warm, stirring gently, just until the gelatin and sugar have fully dissolved - do not let it boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

Top and Chill Again
