WHITE CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA WITH DARK CHOCOLATE SAUCE
Delicate & cool with two kinds of chocolate for an easy but elegant & satisfying dessert. From those talented folks at Southern Living. Panna cotta needs to chill 24 hours before serving. I like to make in ramekins & invert the panna cotta onto serving plates in puddle of warm dark chocolate sauce. Make the dark chocolate sauce shortly before serving & drizzle it on the cold panna cottas immediately before serving. Garnish with mint sprigs if you want to gild the lily.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250°F.
- Put the chocolate into an 8 × 11-inch glass baking dish and transfer to the oven. Stir every 10 minutes with a rubber spatula until it turns a nutty brown color, about 1 hour. (The chocolate may be lumpy and not completely smooth; that's fine.) Remove the chocolate from the oven and spread it out on a sheet of parchment paper. Cool to room temperature and then transfer to a heatproof bowl.
- Pour the milk into a wide saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let stand for 10 minutes. Heat the milk over medium heat, whisking, until it just begins to boil. Add the salt and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour about a third of the hot milk over the chocolate and stir slowly until the chocolate is completely melted. Add the remaining milk and whisk until completely combined and smooth. Add the cream and whisk until combined; let stand until room temperature.
- Divide the mixture among six 6-ounce glass bowls or ramekins set on a small sheet pan. Pop any bubbles that come to the surface with the tip of a knife. Refrigerate the panna cotta until completely set and cold, at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.
- To unmold, fill a small bowl with hot water. Dip the bottom of each bowl in the water for 10 seconds. Wipe the surface of the bowl dry before inverting onto a serving plate.
WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY PANNA COTTA
Steps:
- Panna Cotta: Pour cold water into a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top of it and let sit for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the cream and sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the cream is hot. Pour over the gelatin and stir to dissolve. Then whisk in the yogurt and vanilla. Fill your serving cups 2/3 of the way full and refrigerate. Wait about 1 hour until set before adding the next layer. Raspberry Sauce: Pour cold water into a small mixing bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let sit at least 5 minutes. Place raspberries and sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Smash larger raspberry chunks with your spoon while stirring. Pour over your gelatin and mix to dissolve. Bring to almost room temperature before pouring over the panna cotta. Refrigerate for about an hour until set. White Chocolate Mousse: Pour water into a mixing bowl and sprinkle powder over it. Let sit 5 minutes. Heat 1/2 cup of the heavy cream on the stove or in the microwave until it starts to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the gelatin and stir to dissolve. Then add chocolate pieces and stir until melted and smooth. If you need to reheat slightly to melt it all, do so. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold that gradually into the white chocolate mixture. Then either spoon or pipe the mousse over top of the set raspberry layer. Refrigerate until ready to serve and garnish with leftover raspberries.
Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate: This is the star ingredient of the panna cotta, so it's important to use a good-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a white chocolate that has a high cocoa butter content (35% or higher) for the best flavor and texture.
- Bloom the gelatin: Blooming the gelatin means softening it in cold water before adding it to the hot mixture. This helps to prevent the gelatin from clumping and ensures that it dissolves evenly.
- Use a fine-mesh sieve: When straining the panna cotta mixture, use a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or impurities. This will result in a smooth and creamy panna cotta.
- Chill the panna cotta for at least 4 hours: This is the minimum amount of time needed for the panna cotta to set properly. However, you can chill it for longer if you want a firmer texture.
- Serve the panna cotta with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for panna cotta include fresh berries, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.
