How To Make Pioneer Woman Mango Panna Cotta

1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes until softened.
2. Heat the dairy mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and whole milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it just begins to simmer.
3. Dissolve the gelatin: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
4. Add flavor and mango: Stir in the vanilla extract and mango puree until smooth and well combined.
5. Chill until set: Pour the mixture into serving glasses or ramekins. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or until fully set.
6. Garnish and serve: Top with fresh mango slices, mint leaves, or lime zest just before serving.
