PRESENTATION

Coffee panna cotta is a delightful spoon dessert that is inspired by one of the most beloved desserts: traditional panna cotta, usually flavored with vanilla.

Preparation

How to prepare Coffee Panna Cotta

To prepare the coffee panna cotta, start by making the coffee with the moka pot. Soak the gelatin in very cold water 1. Pour the cream into a saucepan 2 and add the coffee 3.

Add the sugar 4 and vanilla extract 5; bring to just below boiling, stirring often 6.

Drain the now-softened gelatin 7 and add it to the hot cream mixture off the heat 8. Stir with a spoon until completely dissolved 9.

Pour the mixture into 6 molds with a capacity of about 4 1/4 fluid ounces 10. Cover with plastic wrap 11 and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, prepare the accompanying sauce. Finely chop the chocolate 12.

Pour the coffee into a small saucepan 13 and heat it. Then add the dark chocolate 14 and stir until you get a fluid sauce 15, then transfer to a small bowl and let cool.

Meanwhile, unmold the panna cotta: immerse the molds in hot water for a few seconds, wetting only the outside, without letting water penetrate inside; then turn the panna cotta upside down onto a serving plate 16. Decorate with the coffee sauce 17, if you prefer, add some coffee beans and serve immediately 18!

How to store

Coffee panna cotta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, well covered with plastic wrap, or in an airtight container.

Tips

Serve the coffee panna cotta at the moment to prevent the sauce on the surface from solidifying.

If you want to prepare the sauce in advance, you can heat it in the microwave for a few seconds before pouring it over the panna cotta.

If you don't have a moka pot, you can dissolve instant coffee in the same amount of water (5.3 oz for the panna cotta and 2.4 oz for the sauce). Instead of vanilla, you can flavor the coffee with a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom (in this case, leave the pods to infuse until the coffee is cold, then strain and add to the cream as per the recipe).
