This week’s recipe is one of the simplest I have shared yet, but it is definitely worth it – mango and passionfruit panacota.
It’s a very charming dessert, with its delicate texture and light taste that brings to mind warm Summer days. I would say it’s ideal when you want to impress your guests at a dinner party , but don’t have much time left to prepare something elaborate.
Here is my tropical panacota, ready to transport you to the sunny streets of Italy, where it originated.
