About:

Panna cotta is an Italian classic and simple dessert. It is made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar mixing with gelatin and letting it to set. Here I veganised by using coconut milk and replaced sugar with honey and to make it vegetarian friendly used agar- agar(Chinese grass) instead of gelatin.

This is deliciously light and creamy mango layer blends perfectly with berry compote. You can alter the layer according to preference. If setting two layer is tedious just skip agar-agar and  top mango panna cotta with berry sauce and enjoy .
