Chocolate Panna Cotta with Mango

Have you ever thought about adding a bit of chocolate to the popular Italian cream dessert, panna cotta, and turning it into a true chocolate delicacy? The recipe below will help you do just that. Don’t forget to add fresh fruit, which will perfectly complement the rich chocolate cream. We decided to use mango, but you can also use passion fruit or other less exotic fruits like raspberries and strawberries.

Details

  • Preparation Time: 10 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 10 minutes
  • Difficulty: 1
  • Spiciness: 0
  • Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 300 ml Sweet cream

  • 250 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 20 g Sugar, white

  • 0.5 piece Vanilla, extract, natural

  • 100 g chocolate, dark

  • 3 pieces Gelatin powder, unsweetened

  • 1 piece Mango, fresh

Steps

  1. Soak the gelatin leaves in cold water. Let them sit for 10 minutes to soften.

  2. In a saucepan, mix the milk, sweet cream, and sugar. Split the vanilla bean in half and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife, adding both the seeds and the pod to the saucepan. Place it on the stove and slowly heat the mixture over medium heat until all the sugar dissolves.

  3. Once the mixture comes to a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chocolate, which you have previously roughly chopped or cut into pieces. Once you have a completely smooth chocolate mixture, add the soaked gelatin and mix well until it is completely dissolved.

  4. Strain the chocolate mixture into a jug, then pour it into the glasses in which you will serve the dessert. Wait for the mixture to cool to room temperature, then place the glasses in the refrigerator for a few hours (or overnight) to allow the panna cotta to set and chill thoroughly.

  5. Decorate the prepared dessert with mango pieces, or you can use other fruits of your choice.
