Purabi Naha
Neha this is surely amazing and your panna cotta looks so stunning! But my question is, how did you create those triangular layers?
Neha
Hey purabai…I am glad that you liked it….To make layers, I poured pannacotta to 13 rd of the glass and then tilted the glass in a cupcake pan and then refrigerated it….So the first layer got set inclined…Then I poured the mango layer and tilted the glass on the opposite side…..That’s how I made the layers…let me know if this helps….
Thnx

Deepthi
Neha, this is beautiful. I am planning to make this for the BBQ party. Could you let me know how may shot glasses this recipe calls for?
minnacym
I just made these yesterday and they were a HUGE hit! They tasted sweet yet really refreshing. I tilted the dessert glasses to achieve the triangular layers. Yes it was a bit fussy but the effect was oh so worth it! Thank you so much for a great recipe!!
Raj
This looks amazing!! Beautiful presentation!! Can you help with the the vegetarian version pls?? how to use agar agar in this to substitute gelatine?
annabelle dickson

however in the middle mango layer you said mango puree and a mango cut into pieces, but in the method for the middle mango layer, the mango isn’t included?
Neha

Reetika Sarkar
lovely! How did you get such slanted layers? I tried doing that. Didn’t work once the panna cotta was set.
Neha
Reetika, To get the slanted layers, just pour the mixture in the glass and keep them in a muffin pan with a slight tilt. Now keep the pan with the glasses in the refrigerator. The pannacotta with set tilted.
Ariel
Do you think you could add the layers all at once instead of 15 hours of layers? Just trying to be reasonable about the time. Thanks!
msnehamathur
If you add all the layers at once, the layers will not be formed. They will all mix together.
Jaspreet
what does mean fold in whipping cream
msnehamathur
Jaspreet, Fold means mix gently trying not to loose the trapped air.
hina
Can i make these a week in advance and freeze them? And just defrost them a day before the party?
msnehamathur
I am afraid Hina that these will keep good after freezing.
lahari
Hi neha…your recipe was amazing..tried it yesterday but the mango layer is not set yet…what can do to make it set ..plss do help me..waitjng for ur reply..
msnehamathur
Did you refrigerate it and added gelatin?
msnehamathur
Hello Lahari. Sorry for replying so late. For some reason I just missed the comment. I hope you have added the gelatin as mentioned in the recipe.
kushi
Its gorgeous!Treat to watch.loved it
msnehamathur
Thnx Kushi
elisabeth
Hi
in the mangomousse layer you say 2 cups of whipped cream. Is the amount after you have whipped the cream? If yes, how much cream is it before whipping? Here you say cool for 5-6 hours instead of refrigerate. Whats the difference?
How long in advance can I do the desert?
msnehamathur
Hello Elisabeth. The cream would be approximately 3/4 cup before whipping. Cool is same as refrigerate. I will edit it as refrigerate is the correct term. You can make this cake 2 days in advance.
Asha Subhedar
How big are the glasses
msnehamathur
These are shot glasses.
Asha subhedsr
When cream is whipped….it “,falls” after some time and loses its stiffness…..will the mousse not go flat…like whipped cream does???…..perhaps the gelatin prevents this????
Was thinking of making this one day in advance….hence my concern.
THANK YOU.
msnehamathur
If the cream is whipped properly, It should not fall. Use a high fat cream to whip. Hope it works for you.
Thnx
Esther
Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe. Will this works if I replace mango with strawberry.
msnehamathur
Hi Esther. It should definitely work.

If I make these on a wed/thu but serve on a sat, do you think they will still be good?
Neha Mathur
Yes sure. You can do that.
