Tips

To make this tropical dessert more accessible for those with dietary restrictions or allergies, ingredient substitutions can be made. For a vegan version, replace the dairy in the panna cotta with coconut milk or almond milk, and use agar agar or vegan gelatin as a thickening agent. For those with nut allergies, replace the macadamia nuts with toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for a similar crunch. Additionally, for those who don't have access to fresh mango or passion fruit, frozen or canned alternatives can be used instead. By making these ingredient substitutions, this exotic dessert can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter their dietary needs.
