Selam  Everybody... Merhaba from Turkiye...

For our weekend dessert I made this fabulous and delicious Dark Cocoa Panna Cotta. The recipe I took from Donna Hay's recipe with minor adjustment. Well, mostly I am a person who strict to the original recipe... but I think you'll agree with me that coffee is chocolate's best friend, right?

So, for my personal adjustment I skipped the vanilla and use coffee granule instead. The final result was superb! I can taste the coffee flavor infuse to the panna cotta nicely. Not strong though but soft enough to indulge your taste...believe me, you gonna love it!

Actually it's my second time making this dark cocoa panna cotta. At 1st making I used exactly like what recipe write without any adjustment/ change at all. I used vanilla essence instead of coffee in first trial. The taste was so great, I liked it though, may family liked it as well. But the texture slightly too soft for me, so for this second trial I add gelatin powder.

Original recipe calls for 3 tsp gelatin powder, I add 1 tsp today and it turns out very nice smooth texture. Exactly like what I prefer.

You should try this dark cocoa panna cotta in your kitchen. It's simple and quick to make-except cooling time to set. Simple and fresh, like Donna Hay's style of food she created ^,^
Yet the taste isn't simple as make it. Silky soft and very chocolaty- you never imagine this made from cocoa powder instead of cooking chocolate. 

And as I mentioned above, I twist it with coffee to enrich the chocolate flavor..try it too and tell me how you like it.

Sprinkle the gelatine powder over warm water in small bowl, let it sit for a while until gelatine absorbed the water and swell.
And for the panna cotta it self, mix all together dark (dutch) cocoa powder, sugar, coffee and cream over medium heat until boiling. Don't forget to stir it frequently to avoid any lump at bottom pan.

Once you notice bubbling on your mixture, gently stir in gelatine from previous prepared. Continuously stir until all gelatine dissolve. 
You will need very fine strainer-like cheese cloth for making tofu/ cheese. Strain your panna cotta mixture into a bowl then mix in the milk. Stir thoroughly before pouring your panna cotta into mold/ glassed.

As you can see my pictures here, I use tiny glass for serving sprinkle with generous shaved chocolate-my husband loves to sprinkle it more with finely chopped pistachio-hhmm...multiple yummy!
But of course as the recipe said, you can serve it in fluted pie mold then invert to plate for serving. It's absolutely your prefer.
