This might be the best pannacotta I've made. Really. It was just so inspired - raspberry and chocolate obviously go really well together, and cocoa nibs add crunch and a little hint of smokeyness that cuts through the sweetness. Actually, it's not a very sweet dessert - but it does depend on the chocolate you used. I had some Vahlrona Ampamakia at hand, and since you only use a small amount, I would really advice to go for some very high quality stuff. It does make a difference here! No need for fresh raspberries though, since you'll be heating them anyway.
Can't wait to play with more flavor combinations though - how about white chocolate pannacotta and rhubarb jelly? One question though - is it pannacotta or panna cotta? I'm not at all consistent, sometimes writing it one way, sometimes the other... Regardless, it tastes great and it's a convenient dessert since it's all prepared well in advance of your dinner party!
Chocolate Pannacotta with Raspberry Jelly and Cocoa Nibs
Serves 4
Raspberry Jelly:
200 ml raspberries (a little less than a cup)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp white wine (or water)
1/2 gelatin leaf
Chocolate Pannacotta:
250 ml (1 cup) cream (I use full-fat heavy cream, 40% fat)
3 tbsp sugar
50 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 gelatin leaf
decoration:
4 tsp cocoa nibs
Start with the jelly. Place the gelatin in a bowl with cold water and soak for five minutes. Meanwhile, mix the raspberries with sugar and white win in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add the gelatin and let it melt. Pour into four small glasses or cups, and place in the fridge to firm up for at least a few hours, or over night.
Make the pannacotta. Soak the gelatin as above. Bring cream and sugar to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate. Stir until it's completely melted and the mixture has an even color. Add the gelatin and let it melt. Carefully pour this on top of the raspberry jelly and place in the fridge for at least a few hours to set completely.
Just before serving, sprinkle each serving with a teaspoon of cocoa nibs.
