Ingredients
- 175ml single cream
- 250ml milk
- 55g caster sugar
- 150g plain chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken up
- 2 gelatine leaves
Directions
-
Put the cream, milk, sugar and chocolate in a saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and melt the chocolate. Then bring just to the boil, stirring constantly, until velvety smooth. Set aside.
-
Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes, until softened. Squeeze out the water, then stir the leaf into the chocolate, until dissolved. Strain and divide between 6 × 100-125ml ramekins. Cool, cover with cling film and chill for at least 4 hours, until set but still wobbly.
-
Dip each ramekin in hot water and turn out the panna cottas onto serving plates. Serve with whipped cream.
