Chocolate Panna Cotta With Ammaretto Whipped Cream Recipes

CHOCOLATE SFORMATO WITH AMARETTO WHIP CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups of the milk, the sugar, and vanilla. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle the gelatin over the remaining 1/2 cup cold milk and let dissolve for 2 minutes. Combine the cold milk and gelatin with the hot milk and sugar. Stir to dissolve the gelatin, about 5 minutes. (Heat the milk gently if the gelatin is not dissolving easily.) When the gelatin is dissolved combine the eggs with the warm milk, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or small pitcher.
• Meanwhile, melt the chocolate over a double boiler. When the chocolate is melted gradually combine the milk and egg mixture with the melted chocolate, stirring between each addition to create a smooth chocolate mixture.
• Pour the mixture into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle the top with the almonds. Place the casserole dish in a larger dish or roasting pan. Add hot water to the outer pan until the water comes halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the sides are firm and the center is jiggles slightly, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl using a whisk or electric hand mixer. Add the sugar and almond liqueur and whip to combine. Spoon the sformato into individual serving bowls and dollop the top with the almond liqueur whip cream.

SILKY, CREAMY CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatin over the milk and allow to sit to soften the gelatin.
• Heat the half-and-half in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it comes to a simmer.
• Whisk in the sugar, chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the chocolate has melted. Add the milk and gelatin mixture and whisk until the gelatin has entirely dissolved. Bring the entire mixture to a simmer.
• Ladle the mixture into six 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins (or serving dishes of your choice) and refrigerate until set, about 6 hours.
• To serve, top the panna cottas with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
• Serve and enjoy!

VANILLA WHITE CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Put the cream, milk and vanilla pod (whole) into a saucepan.
• Heat over a very low heat until almost simmering, stirring constantly.
• Put the gelatine sheets in water to soak.
• Add the sugar to the warm cream mixture and stir until melted completely.
• Remove the vanilla pod then add the chocolate and stir until melted.
• Add the gelatine to the mixture and stir.
• Remove from heat and make sure the mixture is completely smooth.
• Cool, then pour into ramekins.
• Leave in the fridge to set for around 4 hours.
• If you wish, loosen the panna cotta out of the ramekins by placing them in warm water for a few moments then turning onto a plate.
• I find the flavour is best if you remove the panna cotta from the fridge about 10 minutes before needed. Serve with chopped fresh strawberries.
