Mango Panna Cotta is an easy low carb panna cotta recipe that you’re going to fall in love with! A satisfying dessert that is uniquely flavored and suitable for a keto lifestyle.
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.
Why You’re Going To Love This Low Carb Panna Cotta
- Fast. While you do have to exercise a little bit of patience while the gelatin sets, the prep time for this dessert is under 30 minutes.
- Easy. Melt the gelatin, mix with the remaining ingredients, and chill. It’s really that simple.
- Low Carb. Only 6 net carbs per serving.
- Delicious. A uniquely flavorful combination of mango and cardamom will make this one of your new favorite snacks.
What Is Mango Panna Cotta?
Panna cotta is traditionally a chilled Italian dessert that is made of cream, sugar, and gelatin. It is soft, creamy, and has a slight jiggle to it. It’s rich, refreshing, and the perfect light dessert option after any meal.
What Does Panna Cotta Taste Like?
A traditional panna cotta has the flavor of sweet milk. So, imagine your favorite coffee creamer in a silky dessert form.
This mango panna cotta is the same as any other flavored panna cotta, but I added my own Indian flair to the recipe with a hint of cardamom.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Unflavored Gelatin - This helps thicken your panna cotta.
- Whole Milk - Helps soften the gelatin and create a creamy texture.
- Mango- You can use fresh or frozen.
- Heavy Whipping Cream - Provides richness to the Mango Panna Cotta and makes this a tasty keto fat bomb.
- Swerve - feel free to use any sweetener of your choice. Amounts may need to be adjusted to taste.
- Ground Cardamom - Adds a special pop of flavor to help balance the sweetness of the mango.
How Do You Make Mango Panna Cotta?
- Place gelatin in a small pan, and soak in 1/2 cup of milk, allowing the gelatin to swell and soften. Stir once or twice as it sits.
- Into your blender, put the remaining ingredients and blend under everything is well mixed. Be careful not to over-beat so you don’t turn the whipping cream into butter.
- Heat the gelatin and milk over low heat and stir to ensure the gelatin melts. Slowly mix this into the blended mango mixture and blend for 20 seconds again.
- Pour into 8 half cups and let it chill for an hour or two until set. At this point, you can top with additional chopped mango, or add whipped cream. You should also be able to unmold these carefully although I’m not that talented.
Tips and Tricks
- Chill the panna cotta in small portions so it sets up quickly (and so you can enjoy it sooner!)
- Don’t overbeat the heavy cream. It will turn into butter and ruin the consistency of your dessert.
- Spray the inside of your molds with nonstick spray before pouring in the mixture for easy removal.
How Long Does It Last?
For best results, I would suggest enjoying this Mango Panna Cotta within 3 days of preparing it. After a few days the ingredients tend to begin to separate, leaving the texture slightly different from when it was made.

Mango Panna Cotta | Low Carb Panna Cotta Recipe https://twosleevers.com/low-carb-panna-cotta/
Are you on a keto diet and missing dessert? Are you just dying for some keto chocolate truffles? I have a recipe for keto truffles that is so good that you might want to try it even if you aren’t following a keto diet. Low carb chocolates that taste good? Yes indeed!
What Makes These Chocolate Truffles The Perfect Keto Snack?
- Fast. I don’t know about you, but I never have time for complicated recipes. If I can’t make something in under 30 minutes , I don’t bother. This keto truffle recipe only takes 5 minutes to make.
- Easy. This is a simple pour and cook recipe . Pour everything in a heat-safe bowl, microwave, and chill.
- Low Carb . Believe it or not, there is only 1 net carb per serving in these delicious chocolate truffles.
- Gluten Free . These sugar-free truffles are the perfect low carb dessert for anyone that has a gluten allergy.
Low carb desserts and sugar-free desserts can really help you stick to your keto diet without feeling deprived.
I have accepted that I need sweets sometimes, and I find it’s easier to plan to make keto sweets than fail at the last minute. I’ve been wanting to make a keto version of truffles but I wanted something fast, with very little cooking.
Well, I got half of my wish. There’s not much cooking–really it was ONE MINUTE in the microwave. But it requires pre-planning because you actually need to put it in the freezer or a little bit, and then save it in the fridge. But still, it’s mainly hands-off time.
At 1 gm of net carbs, it’s a great easy, delicious dessert that satisfies my sweet cravings.
What Sweets Can I Have On A Keto Diet?
Believe it or not, a low carb lifestyle doesn’t prevent you from enjoying some of your favorite sweet treats. While you can’t have the exact indulgences that you had before, you can modify them with great keto-friendly ingredients that taste just as good – if not better – than the original.
This is why I decided to come up with this keto truffle recipe (and dozens of other low carb desserts you should try too!)
How To Make Perfect Keto Truffles
After a little bit of playing around, here is what I have learned:
Do not skimp on the chilling time. This can make ALL the difference between a fun experience, and a very frustrating experience as you make these keto chocolate truffles. You will need to chill twice: once after you’ve microwaved all ingredients so that the chocolate ganache can stiffen, and once after you’ve shaped it into truffles.
If your chocolate seizes or turns into a big sticky, grainy mess, don’t panic. Use 1 tablespoon of hot water at a time and stir vigorously to incorporate and melt your chocolate.
You can always turn this keto truffle recipe into a pourable ganache and ice some low carb keto cakes that I have listed such as the keto chocolate cake, the coconut almond cake or any other keto cake that you like.
I used Lily’s chocolate chips to make this but feel free to try your hand at making sugar free chocolate chips instead. You can also use unsweetened Baker’s chocolate. In that case, you will need to add 1/4-1/3 cup of erythritol to sweeten.
Keto Chocolate Truffle Variations
These sugar free chocolate truffles are absolutely delicious as the recipe is written, but some times I need a little variety to keep this low carb lifestyle exciting.
Here are a few variations I’ve tried that are just as delicious with some great low carb additions. NOTE the nutrition facts listed below are for the original truffle recipe. Any additional toppings will change the totals for your chocolate truffles.
- Coconut Chocolate Truffles- roll your keto truffles in unsweetened coconut flakes
- Double Chocolate Truffles- sift dark chocolate cocoa over your sugar free truffles
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles- dip your truffles in PB2 or another brand of powdered peanut butter
- Chocolate Crunch Truffles- finely chop pecans or pistachios and sprinkle over the top for a delicious low carb truffle
