Mango Panna Cotta with Keseriyan Sevai kheer – how does t sound?
yummy right .. and if you ask me how does it taste
my answer is “OUT OF THIS WORLD “
The Best fused dessert ever!!!
And easy as a PIE.
The story behind it:
It was a special weekend – YES my BIRTHDAY . As usual I had big plans to celebrate my birthday.. wanted to bake and decorate a cake for myself . But nothing ever goes as planned. I fell sick four days before my birthday and all the planning went down the drain. I was very upset. Thank God I was feeling a bit better on my birthday.
So thought cake nahi toh dessert hi sahi.
I didn’t wanna spend a lot of time in the kitchen on my birthday. The easiest that I could think of is kheer. My mom always made kheer for us on special occasions and we slurped it. So I thought why not make it too.
But there was one more problem , I have been craving panna cottas for quiet some time now . We don’t eat them at restaurants because of added gelatin. I always fancy panna cottas – oh!! They look so pretty . The way they are layered- quiet impressive . I just feel like digging right in. I was so confused what to make – panna cotta or kheer .. hmmmm
So what to do now…..
Gave it a thought and just went for it. I was so nervous because I had no clue how will the duo taste. Sometimes experimenting leads to bummers and that is the last thing I wanted on my birthday. But had to give it a shot, and hence comes this heavenly fusion.
Mouth melting mango panna cotta with nutty and creamy kheer ..aaah heaven !!! The duo was ready in less than an hour.. Chilled for an hour and served.
HIGHLIGHTS :
vegetarian – no gelatin
quick and easy
yummy
creamy
melt in mouth
fruity
nutty
fusion at its best

- Add cardamom powder and fold in nuts - cook for 10 mins more.
- Taste test .Done.
- Cool it till luke warm then transfer in the fridge to chill .
- Serve- enjoy!!
Notes
I have used condensed milk in panna cotta because the mangoes I used weren't sweet enough. You can skip it or substitute with 1/4 cup sugar depending on the sweetness of the mangoes.
You can play around with the panna cotta look- set it horizontally too.
Agar agar is also know as china grass and is easily available in leading grocery stores, aAsian food stores and online. If using Agar Agar flakes then use 1 tablespoon flakes.

Hi Khushboo! After 4 long years, I am planning to give this another try! I just have few doubts. In your “https://www.carveyourcraving.com/mango-panna-cotta-without-gelatin/” recipe, it says :
” – Take a small pan and whisk in the water and agar agar powder.
– Whisk until lump-free. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
– Now cook this mixture on medium heat until the agar agar is completely dissolved.
– Bring it to a simmer and switch off the flame.
– Add the warm agar agar mixture to the hot mango mixture by whisking it constantly. ”
But here for panna cotta setting, it says to dissolve agar agar powder in WARM water for 10 mins, and then directly add it to the mango mixture.
Which one do you advise? As last time I followed the same recipe but my panna cotta didn’t set..
Hello Amandeep, good to hear from you. I see that last time you used 1/2 teaspoon agar flakes, which is too little. I have mentioned the quantity in my notes and simplified the recipe too. I will soon be posting this recipe with better photos and video.
Hey khusboo.
im planning to try this out soon. i do plan to use gelatin so how much of it should i be using??
btw your recipes are amaaaazing!!!!
Thank you Karishma. I have never used gelatin . If googled then it says gelatin is used same amount as agar, flakes for flakes and powder for powder.Saying that , I feel agar is much stronger than gelatin .
Hello Khushboo, I am new to your blog and I really liked your recipe. I wanted to try it only hubby’s birthday. My question is do we need to put agar agar in kheer as well. If not, how will the kheer layer will be ? Thick? I wanted to set this pudding in the tray instead of glasses. Can you please help me?
Hello Ashima, no agar agar in the kheer. It just needs to be thick. First, add the panna cotta layer to the pan. Let it set in the fridge until jiggly and firm. Top it with kheer layer. Your tray should have at least 1- 1.5 ” thickness of panna cotta layer, accordingly choose the tray.
i made this today its been 4 hrs now but still it has not set 😟 and i used store bought mango puree so its not even sour what do i do guest are about to come in evening please help
OH no Nivisha.. did you use agar gar powder or flakes?
Hey. I kept it for 7-8 hours in the refridgerator and some of them for even 1 day. But it didn’t set at all. It was the same when I pour them into the glasses.
So all I have to do is to mix the sevai kheer into it, and eat it.
Sorry to hear that Amandeep . MAy be you needed more Agar agar . The quantity called for in the recipe has always worked for me and my readers .
Hey!
I just made this panna cotta and it is now in refrigerator. I have a doubt. When we pour the mixture into the glasses and let it set on room temp for 30 mins, how exactly it will look after 30 mins?
As mine is same as it was 30 mins before!
I have used agar agar flakes, as I could not find agar agar powder in any store.
I have used 1/2 tsp of agar agar flakes, taking reference from the link you provided for conversion.
Hello Amandeep , it needs to be set in the fridge and not room temperature.
Hey! Will Amul Cream work for the Mango PannaCotta?
If not, then please specify which Cream should I use!
Thank You.
Yes it will work. Many of my readers have made it successfully using Amul cream.
Which cream you had used
Heavy cream
Hi will non dairy Whipping cream work?
Hi no dairy whipping cream is already sweetened. I don’t recommend it.
Hi khushboo,
Can we replace agar agar with corn flour? Like you mentioned it in chocolate panna cota?
Yes you may try. It should work . I haven’t done it for this recipe but should work the same way.
Hi Khushboo,
I was thinking of using chiku instead of mangoes. Is it possible? If so will the measurements still be the same or vary?
Thanks
Arti
Yes the measures will be the same. Adjust sugar to your taste.

Waiting for ur reply …wanna try it soon.
hi jinal , you can use about any fruits which are of same sweetness as mangoes , if using bit tart fruit .. you need to increase quantity of agar agar a bit , which fruit do you have in mind?
I would like to try this desert but can you suggest me where we can get agar agar powder in USA..
Thanks a lot
