Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- optional Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Once the mixture is warm, whisk in the instant coffee powder and unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is completely dissolved. This may take 1-2 minutes of gentle stirring.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or measuring cup to remove any lumps and ensure a silky texture.
Divide the mixture evenly among 6 small ramekins or dessert glasses. Allow the mixture to cool slightly at room temperature.
Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
Before serving, optionally top with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Mocha Panna Cotta!
