Mango and Pomegranate Pearls Panna Cotta

I am an ardent fan of Alphonso mangoes, so that made me prepare this Panna Cotta even though Mangoes are not in season. I suggest that you prepare this delectable and creamy panna cotta when Alphonso Mangoes are in Season.

This elegant and delectable Italian chilled dessert is prepared with Alphonso mango puree, pomegranate pearls, cream and is lightly sweetened and flavored with vanilla extract and can be prepared well in advance.
