    I'm all about the tropical flavors lately, and even though it's still spring, it feels like summer. It's been HOT here in the midwest. This mango passionfruit coconut panna cotta tart is tropical in flavor, and served cold. This dessert is perfect for hot summer days.

    This mango passionfruit coconut panna cotta tart is fairly simple, with the majority of the work in this recipe is just waiting for the tart shell to bake, the panna cotta to set, and the gelée is set. This tart can be made in advance, or over the course of a couple days . This tart is super creamy from the coconut milk, sweet-tart from the mango and passionfruit purees with a crisp cookie-like crust. It's super delicious and beautiful.

    Tart Shell

    This sweet tart shell, or a pâte sucrée is tender and crisp, with a slight crumble in texture, similar to a that of a shortbread cookie. It’s the perfect foundation to most any filling, and can be made in a food processor. Check out my post on sweet tart dough for the recipe, and the step by step on how to make this dough.

    Coconut Panna Cotta

    Panna cotta is an Italian dessert that usually consists of cream, sometimes milk, sugar and vanilla. Gelatin is added to it to make a molded dessert, much like a super creamy jello. In this recipe, I swapped out the cream for coconut milk. The coconut milk still gives it that super creamy and luscious texture that is typical with traditional cream based panna cotta.

    Mango Passionfruit Gelée

    Gelée is the French term for what we know as jello. This mango passionfruit gelée is not as stiff nor is it clear like typical jello. This is because for this recipe I used mango and passionfruit purées and not juices. The gelée is poured on top of the panna cotta to set firm up and add a pop of fruity flavor that tastes amazing with the coconut milk.
