Panna cotta is a very popular dessert from Italian Cuisine. The main secret ingredient added to get jelly like texture is Gelatin. Most of us doesn't include gelatin as it is obtained from various animal byproducts. The alternative for Gelatin is Agar Agar which is obtained from plants. So, instead of gelatin, we can use agar agar to get jelly texture. We can get Agar Agar in chinese shops or in Indian grocery shops or even in Amazon. So, with agar agar added to mango and coconut milk, this panna cotta is the best served dessert ever. Very simple to make without much hassle.
