Set with gelatin instead of egg yolks, panna cottas are lighter - and easier to prepare - than most puddings. This one owes its richness of flavor to a healthy dose of Nutella and bittersweet chocolate.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/8 teaspoon powdered gelatin
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup Nutella
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup chopped, toasted hazelnuts, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk gelatin with 3 tablespoons cold water. Place chopped chocolate in another medium bowl. In a large bowl, combine Nutella and salt.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring cream to a boil. Pour half the cream over gelatin mixture and whisk gently to combine; stir in vanilla. Pour remaining cream over chopped chocolate; whisk until smooth. Combine two mixtures; whisk well.
  • Pour one-third of the gelatin-chocolate mixture over Nutella; beat using an electric mixer on low speed until a smooth paste forms. Pour in remaining mixture and milk; beat until fully combined.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into six ramekins. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator until set, about six hours or overnight. Serve sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved before adding it to the hot liquid. Otherwise, you may end up with lumps in your panna cotta.
  • Chill the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will give it time to set properly.
  • To unmold the panna cotta, dip the molds briefly in hot water, then invert them onto a plate.
  • Serve the panna cotta with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Chocolate hazelnut 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 its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, this panna cotta is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
