Aaah Lindt.  I love chocolate and Lindt is one of my favourites.  Chocolate dessert is close to my heart.

Chocolate + Dessert = Happy Me!

Chocolate + Dessert = Dimply Thighs!

I am a casualty of the Dimple War and I have the thigh indents to prove it.

What is Panna Cotta?  I’m happy to inform.  Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert and since I want to BE Italian, this dessert automatically is moved up on my list of bucket-list-desserts.  Panna Cotta made by simmering sugar, milk, cream and gelatin together.  Its served cold and with fruit toppings or something more extravagant like chocolate.

Ingredients for my version of Panna Cotta are milk, gelatin, heavy cream, caster sugar, vanilla extract and of course chocolate. (I forgot to include the sugar in the photo)

Place the cold milk into a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the surface to form an even layer.  Allow to stand for about 5 minutes.

Add the caster sugar to a saucepan.

Add the cream to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring all the time and until the sugar has dissolved.

Add the milk/gelatine mixture to the saucepan, stirring until blended.  Remove from the heat.

Add the vanilla to the saucepan.

Break the chocolate into manageable pieces and try not eat any. Add the chocolate to the mixture whisk until blended and the chocolate has melted.

Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a jug.

Place 6-8 ramekins onto a baking tray. Evenly distribute the chocolate mixture between the ramekins.

Cover and place in the fridge for about 4-6 hours (or overnight).

Place the white chocolate into a microwave safe dish and cook for 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate is melted.

Now to plate the panna cotta. Place the ramekins into a warm water bath for a few minutes to loosen the edges.

You may have some ‘run off’ from the melted chocolate. Wipe clean with a kitchen or paper towel.

Turn out into a plate and drizzle with melted chocolate and garnish with fruit.

Promise to use your treadmill in the morning and drink 20 gallons of water to cleanse your chocolate-toxic body.
