This Low Carb Panna Cotta was an accidental find. I wanted to try a Vanilla Panna cotta but then I got distracted by a shiny object, which in my case, was a package of frozen mango that I’d accidentally ordered with my groceries. There’s literally no room in my freezer right now and despite putting the package in there and jamming the door hard, it wouldn’t shut. So, I used a cup of mango to make mango panna cotta. This is a very simple recipe, and if you chill it in small cups, it sets up for a super quick low carb sweet treat.
