Step-by-step
- Put the gelatine into a bowl of cold water and set aside to soak.
- Combine the milk, double cream, coconut cream and vanilla in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- As soon as the mixture begins to bubble, take it off the heat and add half the lime zest and the sugar. Whisk well to dissolve the sugar.
- Squeeze the water from the gelatine leaves and add them to the hot cream mixture. Whisk again until the gelatine dissolves, then add the mango purée and whisk again.
- Pour the mixture into 5 ramekins, then transfer to the refrigerator and leave to set for 2–3 hours.
- Turn out the panna cottas on to serving plates. Top with the fresh mango, sprinkle over the remaining lime zest and serve chilled.
