Bloom the Gelatin

Pour and Chill
- Divide the mixture evenly into individual serving cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
Create the Passion Fruit Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the passion fruit pulp with sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Serve
- Once your panna cotta is set, pour the passion fruit mixture on top and serve chilled.
Notes
No fresh passion fruit? Substitute canned passion fruit pulp or mango puree. Experiment with flavors by infusing your cream with fresh herbs, coffee, or spices like cardamom.
