Chocolate and Vanilla Panna Cotta

Chocolate and Vanilla Panna Cotta is double treat. When you can’t decide if you want vanilla panna cotta or chocolate panna cotta, make both.

Hey guys! It’s been a while since we met! I did not intend to take a break, and then there were a few things happening on personal front that kept me away from the blogging world. Infact I was away from everything, cooking, clicking and blogging.

End of December I fell ill and I could not do any work. I was not even cooking. There was one silver lining among all the ‘not so good things that were happening in my life’. Both my kids were at my mom’s place enjoying their Christmas holidays when I fell sick.

I did not have to worry about feeding them, taking care of them! I could concentrate on my health and get back on feet soon. Hubby worked from home and helped me around with a lot of things. He bought food, he helped me with small house hold work and lot more.

I started feeling better right in time, just around New Years Eve 🙂 . I was so happy to be off bed. Spent the New Years Eve with family and friends. I spent some quality time with family for few days. We also decided to catch up with a lot of friends during the New Year. Though I did not decide on taking a break, I must say I really enjoyed the break I got.

Now things are back to normal and I am back to my cooking spree. I decided to open the post for the brand new year with a special. Something sweet may be! How about a classic French dessert! If you are my regular follower, you must know by now that I am not a sweet person. I don’t like sweets. And I can totally ditch dessert during a party ! 😛 😀 Yes I mean it.

But there are few things desserts that I can eat and I enjoy it. Panna cotta is one of them. When I could not decide whether to settle for vanilla panna cotta or chocolate panna cotta, I decided to settle for both the flavors in same cup. I made a simple panna cotta with vanilla and chocolate layers. I also kept the layers simple. If you like you can make fancy layers of vanilla and chocolate.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

For Vanilla Panna Cotta Layer

• ▢ ¾ cup fresh cream
• ▢ ¾ cup milk
• ▢ 7 gram gelatin
• ▢ 6 teaspoon cold water
• ▢ ⅓ cup sugar
• ▢ 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste

For Chocolate Panna Cotta Layer

• ▢ ¾ cup cream
• ▢ ¾ cup milk
• ▢ 7 grams gelatin
• ▢ 6 teaspoon water
• ▢ 5 tablespoon sugar
• ▢ 5 ounce dark chocolate

Instructions

 

• You'll need to make vanilla panna cotta and chocolate panna cotta seperately, one at a time. Once one of the layers is set, you'll begin making the other layer.

To Make Vanilla Panna Cotta Layer

• In a non-stick or heavy bottomed pan heat milk, cream and sugar on low flame until the mixture comes to a boil.
• In another bowl add gelatin to 1 teaspoon water place it on stove and stir it until all the gelatin dissolves. Alternatively use microwave to melt gelatin.
• Add the gelatin mixture to cream-milk mixture and stir well with a whisk until the mixture blends well. Stir in vanilla bean paste (can use pure vanilla extract instead of paste).
• Spoon the panna cotta mixture into dessert glasses or bowls and set it in freezer for about 2-3 hours. Wait until the first layer of panna is completely set before you begin with second layer.

To Make Chocolate Panna Cotta Layer

• In a non-stick or heavy bottomed pan heat milk, cream and sugar on low flame until the mixture comes to a boil.
• In another bowl add gelatin to 1 teaspoon water place it on stove and stir it until all the gelatin dissolves. Alternatively use microwave to melt gelatin.
• Add the gelatin mixture to cream-milk mixture and stir well with a whisk until the mixture blends well.
• While the mix is hot, add in dark chocolate and whisk well. The heat in the cream should melt the chocolate.
• Carefully spoon the chocolate panna cotta mixture over the set vanilla layer without disturbing the layer. Set it in freezer for about 2-3 hours.
• Let the mix cool down little bit. If you pour in hot chocolate panna cotta over set vanilla layer, it will break the set panna cotta. Be careful.
• Finally top with some fresh strawberries and mint leaves and serve chilled.

Notes

• If you do not want to wait to make layered panna cotta, simply make one type of panna cotta in separate cups.
• Chocolate chips will melts only if panna cotta mix if hot. If doubtful, melt chocolate chips separately and then add to the panna cotta mix.
• Fresh berries or homemade berry sauce (or compost) can be used for toppings.
• Always serve panna cotta chilled.
