Method

  1. Soak gelatin in cold water for 5–10 minutes (step 1 of Panna Cotta).

  2. Heat cream, coconut milk, milk, sugar, vanilla bean, lime leaves, and salt until hot but not boiling; let steep for 15–20 minutes (step 2‑4 of Panna Cotta).

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The dairy mixture is steaming but not boiling before the aromatics steep.

  3. Remove vanilla bean and lime leaves, stir in gelatin, then strain the mixture (step 5‑6 of Panna Cotta).

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Straining after the gelatin dissolves removes the aromatics and any solids.

  4. Divide the custard into 6–8 glasses and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set (step 7‑8 of Panna Cotta).

  5. Blend mango, passion fruit pulp, and lime juice; add honey or maple syrup if desired (Mango‑Passion Fruit Sauce).

  6. Combine shredded coconut, sugar, flour, butter, sesame seeds, and salt; bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until golden brown, stirring halfway through, then let cool completely (Sesame Coconut Crumble).

  7. To serve, spoon a generous amount of mango‑passion fruit sauce over each set panna cotta.

  8. Sprinkle the cooled sesame coconut crumble over the sauce.

  9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, mango cubes, and a pinch of lime zest.

  10. Enjoy the tropical panna cotta immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
