Pannacotta is one of the most simple things to make, especially when you have to set them in glasses. Since its summer why not make a mango variant right. made a couple of these in my college a few days ago and topped them with some white chocolate shards and some molecular caviars.
I have always been fascinated with molecular gastronomy and since the last guest lecture on molecular gastronomy in my college, I have been meaning to make these tint little caviar balls. Now they might seem a little bit hard to make but they are actually not. With a few tricks, you can make them at home as well. Follow the simple steps below and make a perfect summer treat for you as well. Cheers!!!

For Caviar
- Start by combining together, mango pulp, cinnamon powder, sugar, water, and agar agar powder in a bowl and bring the mixture to a boil while mixing continuously. The consistency should be dripping.
- Remove the chilled oil from the freezer. NOTE: Make sure to take the oil in a tall glass or in anything that has good height.
- While the mixture is a little hot, take it in a syringe. Slowly press the other end of the syringe, one drop at a time in the cold oil mixture you will little pearls/caviars forming. (If the pearls don't form add some more agar agar powder to the mixture and boil again. If the caviar form but aren't spherical and amoeba-shaped this means the mixture isn't hot enough, heat again with a little bit of water)
- Once the pearls form take them out of the oil using a spoon, drain off the oil, and put them in cold water. Wash them nicely and top them on your pannacotta.
- Break the white chocolate into pieces and place them, add a mint leaf as a garnish and serve chilled!!!
