3. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 minutes.

4. Add the crushed seeds with cream, sugar, coconut milk, milk and vanilla bean paste to a large saucepan, whisking gently to avoid any lumps.

   • 2 tsp Nielsen Massey Vanilla Bean Paste

5. Heat the cream to a simmer then remove from the hob.

6. Squeeze any remaining water from the gelatine leaves and add to the mix. Allow to dissolve.

7. Once the gelatine is fully dissolved, pour the mixture into 4 ramekins.

8. Leave to cool, then chill for 3-4 hours or until set.

9. To prepare the mango puree slice up the flesh of two mangos.

   • 2 Mango

10. Keep aside a few chunks for added texture when serving. Blend the remaining mango to make a smooth puree. Serve alongside the panacotta or drizzled on top.
