Steps:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water.
- In a saucepan, whisk the cream and milk to heat up. When it is hot to the touch, stir in the espresso powder, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
- Pour the hot milk mixture over the chopped chocolate in large bowl and stir until dissolved and incorporated. Whisk one cup of the hot milk mixture into the dissolved gelatin to combine and melt the gelatin. Return the gelatin mixture to the chocolate milk and whisk to fully combine.
- Pour into 8 8-ounce-size ramekins, filling halfway. Chill for 3 hours or up to overnight. To serve, dip the ramekin into hot water for a few seconds and run a small knife around the edges to release the custard. Turn out onto a plate and garnish with chopped chocolate.

Steps:
- MOCHA PANNA COTTA:.
- Lightly coat twelve 2-ounce demitasse cups, ramekins or other small dessert dishes with cooking spray; set aside.
- Place the water in a small bowl; Sprinkle gelatin over the surface.
- Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the whipping cream, coffee beans and sugar.
- Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture almost comes to boiling.
- Remove from heat.
- Add softened gelatin; stir until it dissolves.
- Let stand for 5 minutes to infuse with the coffee flavor.
- Place the chocolate in a medium bowl.
- Strain the hot cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the chocolate.
- Gently whisk to melt the chocolate.
- Whisk in sour cream until smooth.
- Pour into prepared cups.
- Chill in the refrigerator until the panna cotta is firm, at least 2 hours.
- FLEUR DE SEL CARAMEL:
- Put 3/4 cup granulated sugar in a high-sided medium saucepan.
- Spoon 1/4 cup water down the inside walls of the pan and let it seep into the sugar to soak it.
- This will take about 1 minute.
- Draw your finger in a cross through the middle of the sugar to help the water seep in, if needed.
- Heat the sugar over high heat until the sugar comes to boiling.
- Continue boiling the sugar, without stirring, until it turns evenly amber in color.
- Watch closely to prevent burning the sugar.
- Immediately remove heat and slowly add 1/2 cup whipping cream or heavy cream, stirring gently but carefully with a wooden spoon. (The mixture is extremely hot and will bubble up slightly.)
- Let the caramel cool before stirring in 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt.
Tips:
- Use high-quality coffee for the best flavor. Freshly ground beans will give you the best results.
- Don't overcook the panna cotta. It should be set but still have a slight wobble to it.
- Chill the panna cotta for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
- Garnish the panna cotta with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
- For a vegan version of this recipe, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of heavy cream, and agar-agar powder instead of gelatin.
