Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups fat-free (skim) milk
3 tablespoons sugar
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
3 ounces reduced-fat bar cream cheese, room temperature
Pinch salt
Reduced-fat sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold milk. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Cook over low, stirring until gelatin has dissolved (it will feel smooth when rubbed between fingers), about 3 minutes. Add sugar; stir until dissolved. Add remaining cup of milk; cook over low until warm (do not boil), about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; heat on high in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted. Add cream cheese to chocolate; using a rubber spatula, stir until uniform in color. Pour cup gelatin mixture into chocolate mixture; stir until smooth. Gradually add remaining gelatin mixture, then salt, stirring until smooth. Divide among 4 small glasses; refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Serve topped with sour cream, if desired.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. - Don't boil the cream. Just bring it to a simmer, then remove it from the heat. - Use fresh gelatin. Old gelatin can lose its gelling power. - Let the panna cotta chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will give it time to set properly. - Serve the panna cotta with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. - For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of whole milk. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the cream by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the cream forms a thin skin on the surface, it is ready. - If you are using a flavored extract, such as vanilla or almond, add it to the cream before you heat it. This will allow the flavor to infuse into the panna cotta.

Conclusion:

Milk chocolate 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 these tips, you can make the perfect panna cotta every time.
