If you like chocolate in the form of puddings, this nice and easy panna cotta recipe might be the right one for you...
My son and I made this panna cotta several times and always like to make these in this less guilty version. We have replaced cream with evaporated milk and yet they are still creamy enough for us to enjoy. Overall, they are rich in its chocolate taste but not too heavy at all to eat.

Here's the recipe from Donna Hay Magazine Issue 63 Winter 2012.
(with my modification in blue)
1/4 cup (60ml) water (replaced with extra evaporated milk)
2 tsp gelatine powder (replaced with 3 gelatine leaves, about 12g in total)
3 cups (750ml) single (pouring) cream (replaced with evaporated milk)
1 cup (160g) icing sugar, sifted (reduced to 100g)
200g 70% cocoa chocolate, chopped
fresh raspberries, to serve (or strawberries)
Place the water in a bowl, sprinkle over the gelatine and set aside until the gelatine is dissolved. (For gelatine leaves, they need to be pre-soaked in water. Excess water is removed from them by gently squeezing them before addition.)
Place the cream, sugar and chocolate in a saucepan over high heat and cook, whisking, for 8-10 min or until mixture comes to the boil. Remove from the heat, add the gelatine and stir until melted and smooth. Strain into 8 x 1/2 cup-capacity (125ml) lightly greased moulds or glasses.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm. Serve the chilled panna cottas with raspberries (or strawberries). Makes 8.
Note: Using half amount of this recipe, I have made 3 glasses of panna cotta for 3 hungry tumnmies to enjoy. Cheers!
Enjoy the treat.

ReplyDeleteThis will be a real nice treat for the children. Thanks for sharing Zoe:-)
ReplyDeleteMe me me! I love chocolate & chocolate panna cotta is definitely "my cup of tea!" hahaha! Last few days I had been "craving" for chocolate dessert that I actually made some chocolate jellies which I'm planning to submit to the Aspiring Bakers as well. The last glass of my jelly was finished this morning & they didn't taste like jellies at all but more like pudding or shall I say panna cotta flavour. Will share with you later as I just uploaded a breacg recipe yesterday! Do you agree that when we eat with dark chocolate dessert, we must serve it with some berries? Oh, love it!
ReplyDeleteOhhh....this is great! Let me lose my 8 lbs first, then I'll make this treat to enjoy. But only 1 portion, must share otherwise will gain my weight back again :)
ReplyDeleteDelicious ! Maybe I should make that as well ?! :D Love your own substitution .......

I made panacotta a week back for the first time, and was delicious, must give your chocolate version a try.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this recipe! The 70% cocoa chocolate, is it cocoa powder or dark chocolate bar? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate with 70% cocoa that I'm using is cooking unsweetened chocolate with 70% cocoa. Cheers!
