Panna Cotta with Caramel Sauce image

Super easy, elegant dessert. Do this at least a few hours ahead of time so that the panna cotta has time to set and to take away last-minute stress. Only thing that has to be done near the time of serving is the caramel sauce because you want the contrast of the warm sauce against the cold panna cotta.

Tips:

  • For the perfect panna cotta texture, make sure to use full-fat cream and milk. Low-fat or skim milk will not yield the same rich and creamy results.
  • To achieve a smooth and lump-free mixture, whisk the sugar and gelatin together until the gelatin has completely dissolved before adding it to the cream mixture.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil the tops of the panna cotta for a few minutes until they are slightly browned. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  • To easily remove the panna cotta from the ramekins, dip them briefly in hot water, then run a knife around the edges. Invert the ramekins onto plates and the panna cotta should slide out easily.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use bittersweet or semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
  • To make a vegan version of this recipe, you can use coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and agar-agar powder instead of gelatin.
