Nicholas created this dish for Great British Menu ™ Season 20. The silky coconut panna cotta provides a gentle, wobbly backdrop for the vibrant rum-spiked mango sorbet. The lime-rum dressing cuts through the richness brilliantly, making this an ideal pre-dessert that refreshes rather than overwhelms.
Ingredients
Instructions
MAKE THE PANNA COTTA:
Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Gently warm the coconut cream, milk, and sugar until the sugar dissolves - don't boil. Squeeze out the gelatine and stir it in until melted. Pour into four small glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
MAKE THE SORBET:
Dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat, then cool completely. Blend the mango until smooth, then stir in the syrup, rum, and lime juice. Churn in an ice cream machine, or freeze in a shallow container, mashing with a fork every hour until set.
MAKE THE DRESSING:
Whisk the lime juice, rum, oil, and salt together. It should be loose and zingy.
SERVE:
Top each panna cotta with a small scoop of sorbet. Spoon over a little of the dressing and serve immediately.
