1 vanilla pod
1 packet vanilla sugar
2-3 sheets of gelatin
For the crumble
40 g brown sugar
10 g vanilla sugar
80 g flour
50 g cold butter
For the fruit coulis
40 g sugar
50 ml white wine
150 g frozen raspberries

Zest of half a lemon
For the mango gel
150 ml mango juice
1 tsp agar-agar

Preparation for Panna Cotta with Fruit Coulis, Crumble, and Mango Gel

First, soak the gelatin in cold water. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Heat the cream with sugar, vanilla seeds, and the scraped pod in a saucepan. It is important not to let the cream boil.
Once the cream is hot, squeeze out the gelatin and stir it into the warm cream mixture until fully dissolved. Pour the mixture into glasses or molds and refrigerate for at least four hours.
For the crumble, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Rub them into crumbs using your fingers. Spread the crumbs on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about twelve minutes until golden brown. Let them cool.
For the fruit coulis, caramelize the sugar in a small saucepan. Deglaze with white wine and add the raspberries. Bring the mixture to a boil, then blend it. To achieve a smooth texture, strain the mixture through a sieve. If desired, refine the coulis with honey and lemon zest.
For the mango gel, bring the mango juice and agar-agar to a boil in a small saucepan. Let it simmer for about two minutes. Allow the mixture to cool until it sets, then blend it until smooth.
To serve, gently unmold the panna cotta or present it directly in the glass. Spoon the fruit coulis on top. Add small dollops of mango gel. Sprinkle the crispy crumble over the dessert. Finally, garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves.
Resumé
This panna cotta is a dreamy combination of creamy texture, fruity freshness, and crunchy goodness. A dessert that impresses both in taste and appearance. Perfect for special occasions or simply treating yourself.
