Spiced Mango & Coconut Panna Cotta with Hibiscus-Berry Compote

Chef note

Keep the flavours precise, the plate composed, and the final presentation grounded in Chef Stone's disciplined Pan-African style.

Ingredients

200g Heavy Cream
200g Coconut Milk
70g sugar
15g gelatin
1 ripe mango, cubed
1 mango, for puree
1 handful of mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries)
1 tbsp dried hibiscus flowers
Mint leaves for garnish

Method

1

In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm the heavy cream, coconut milk, and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.

2

Meanwhile, bloom the gelatin in a small bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes.

3

Squeeze the excess water from the gelatin and whisk it into the warm cream mixture until fully dissolved.

4

Stir in the cubed mango and pour the mixture into serving glasses or ramekins.

5

Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.

6

For the compote, blend the second mango until smooth and combine with the mixed berries and hibiscus flowers in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until the berries have softened.

7

To serve, pour the cooled hibiscus-berry compote over the set panna cotta.

8

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve chilled.

Plating direction

Unmould onto a clean white dessert plate, keep the compote close to the base, and finish with just enough garnish to hold the colour line.
