WHITE CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA WITH DARK CHOCOLATE SAUCE



White Chocolate Panna Cotta With Dark Chocolate Sauce image

Delicate & cool with two kinds of chocolate for an easy but elegant & satisfying dessert. From those talented folks at Southern Living. Panna cotta needs to chill 24 hours before serving. I like to make in ramekins & invert the panna cotta onto serving plates in puddle of warm dark chocolate sauce. Make the dark chocolate sauce shortly before serving & drizzle it on the cold panna cottas immediately before serving. Garnish with mint sprigs if you want to gild the lily.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the cream and milk are cold before you start cooking. This will help the panna cotta to set properly.
  • Don't overcook the panna cotta. It should be slightly wobbly when you shake the mold.
  • Chill the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
  • If you want to make a caramel sauce, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Don't stir the caramel sauce while it is cooking. This will cause it to crystallize.
  • Once the caramel sauce has reached the desired color, remove it from the heat and stir in the cream. This will stop the cooking process.
  • Serve the panna cotta with the caramel sauce drizzled on top.

Conclusion:

Dark chocolate caramel panna cotta is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to impress your guests.
