Panna cotta with dark chocolate. A fresh, creamy, and delicious dessert. Very easy to prepare.
Making panna cotta at home is very simple: you’ll make both adults and children happy. Usually, panna cotta is served with a chocolate sauce. The sauce remains thick but fluid and does not solidify.
The dark chocolate solidifies, but I wanted to try this version after visiting a yogurt shop. Let me explain. A few nights ago, I went out to get yogurt at a local yogurt shop and asked to add chocolate sauce. At this point, I was asked: do you prefer liquid sauce or chocolate that solidifies? Having never tried it, I chose the second option. As soon as the chocolate sauce was added to the yogurt, it solidified, forming a super delicious crunchy chocolate layer. From there, the idea of trying the panna cotta with dark chocolate.
Of course, if you prefer the sauce, you can use it. If you don’t know how to make it at home, you can buy ready-made chocolate syrup. Besides panna cotta, you can use it on ice cream, yogurt, cheesecake, pancakes… whatever you like.
But let’s see right away how to prepare the panna cotta with dark chocolate.

How to prepare panna cotta with dark chocolate
Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl. Add cold water to cover them and let them soak for about 15 minutes.
In a small pot, put the cream, sugar, and vanillin. Mix well with a spoon.
Move to the stove and bring to a boil. From boiling, count three minutes. (In the meantime, stir continuously).
Add the well-drained gelatin and mix well to dissolve it.
Pour the mixture into the molds. Let it cool, then place it in the refrigerator. Let it rest for at least three hours.
When ready, you can decorate as you like. As I explained above, I used dark chocolate. I melted it in a bain-marie and then poured it into the molds. I also added chocolate chips.
Serve and enjoy.
