Panna Cotta With Fresh Berries and Chocolate Sauce
- Reviews 2
Ready In: 6 hrs 15 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 3 cups whipping cream
- 1⁄3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups assorted fresh berries (I usually use blueberries, raspberries, and chopped strawberries)
Sauce
- 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1⁄2 lb semisweet chocolate, cut in chunks
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
- Place the milk in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
- Pour milk mixture into a heavy saucepan and stir over medium heat just until the gelatin dissolves but the milk does not boil, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cream, honey, sugar, and salt.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Pour into 6 wine glasses so that they are 1/2 full.
- Cool slightly.
- Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours.
- For the sauce:
- Combine the cream and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Heat the mixture until bubbles appear around the sides of the pot, but do not allow the cream to boil.
- Mix in the chocolate and vanilla; remove from the heat and stir until the chocolate melts and the sauce is smooth.
- May be made ahead of time and rewarmed over low heat on the stovetop, or in the microwave on medium power.
- Spoon berries atop the panna cotta, drizzle generously with chocolate sauce.
- Top with more berries and a decorative drizzling of sauce, and serve.
