Today I wanted to use a Mango that had been sitting in the fridge for several days. As I needed to use up leftover Cream as well, I decided to make this Panna Cotta based on my ‘Pumpkin Panna Cotta’ recipe. Basically I just replaced Pumpkin with Mango. I added Lemon Juice because the Mango …
My favourite Japanese summer dessert called ‘Mizu Yōkan’ is commonly made with smooth Azuki (Red Beans) Paste and Kanten. I often make it using Vegetarian Gelling Powder as Kanten is not easy to find. White Bean Paste and Chestnut Paste can be used instead of Azuki Paste. To make this Chestnut Agar Jelly, I use …
There is a popular summer dessert called ‘Mizu Yōkan’ in Japan. It’s a jelly, commonly made with smooth Azuki (Red Beans) Paste and Kanten.

To make jelly desserts, I use Gelatine Powder. Sometimes I use Agar Agar OR Kanten for vegetarian jellies. Recently I started using Corn Starch. Corn Starch is easily available from any stores, very cheap, and plant-based. When liquid is thickened with Corn Starch, the texture becomes firmer when cooled. If you have never used Corn …
My ‘Coffee Panna Cotta with Kahlúa’ has become popular. Then I decided to make Tea Flavoured Panna Cotta. I used the fragrant Earl Grey Tea which I love, and 1/2 Milk and 1/2 Cream for lighter texture. The fragrance of Earl Grey in the Panna Cotta is quite subtle. You need Earl Grey Tea Syrup …
