Chocolate Panna Cotta with Strawberry Topping

Recipe Description

Chocolate Panna Cotta with Strawberry Topping is a delicious take on this classic Italian dessert. I adore the combination of chocolate and strawberries, and this dessert couldn’t be better – creamy, rich and absolutely gorgeous!

Making this recipe is very easy too. Start by combining gelatine and cold water. Heat until the gelatine dissolves and then remove from heat. Melt chocolate. Heat cream and sugar until the cream starts to boil and immediately remove from the heat. Add gelatine and vanilla, then add the melted chocolate and mix well. Transfer to 2-4 glasses and chill for a minimum of 4 hours. Combine strawberries, sugar, and water and bring to a boil until the mixture thickens. Leave to cool before topping the chilled panna cotta!
