Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 cup passion fruit pulp
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently to heat through, being careful not to let it boil.
Once the milk mixture is warm, add the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly to room temperature.
While the mixture is cooling, prepare the serving glasses or molds. Evenly distribute the diced mangoes across the glasses or dishes.
Pour the cooled coconut mixture over the mangoes, leaving a small space at the top for the passion fruit layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Once the coconut layer is firm, gently spoon passion fruit pulp over the top of each dessert, creating a vibrant second layer.
Garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves and toasted coconut flakes if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy your tropical indulgence!
