Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 ml Heavy cream
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 120 g White chocolate, finely chopped
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2.5 tsp Powdered gelatin
- 60 ml Water (cold, for blooming gelatin)
- 100 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
- 120 ml Heavy cream (for sauce)
- 15 g Unsalted butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, pour the cold water and sprinkle the powdered gelatin evenly on top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the finely chopped white chocolate. Mix until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm mixture and stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve to ensure it is smooth and free of lumps.
Divide the mixture evenly among six ramekins or serving glasses. Let the panna cotta cool to room temperature, then cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
To prepare the dark chocolate sauce, heat the heavy cream (for sauce) in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Remove from the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter.
Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. If the sauce thickens too much, you can warm it briefly to loosen it.
Once the panna cotta is set, drizzle each serving with the warm dark chocolate sauce. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, shredded white chocolate, or a sprig of mint. Serve and enjoy!
