Recipe Ingredients
  

For the Panna Cotta:

  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 3 teaspoons Gelatin
  • ยฝ cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 ounces 64% French Dark Chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • โ…“ cup Sugar
  • 6 ounces Mascarpone (Cream Cheese will also work)
  • Zest of ยฝ Orange

For the Strawberry Sauce:

  • 2 cups Fresh Strawberries
  • ยผ cup Sugar (if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur (or your favorite Orange liqueur)

Recipe Instructions
 

For the Panna Cotta:

  • In a small glass bowl, add the gelatin, top with ยผ cup of milk, mix and let it rest for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the recipe.ย 
  • In a sauce pan heat 1cup milk and the cream and bring to a boil.
  • In a glass bowl add the cocoa powder and add the remaining ยพ cup of milk GRADUALLY and mix well until the cocoa power is well incorporated.
  • In your sauce pan with the hot cream/milk mixture add the mascarpone cheese, cocoa powder mixture, sugar, bloomed gelatin and chocolate.ย ย Use your immersion blender if necessary to make sure the mixture is very very smooth.ย ย Add the orange zest at the last minute.
  • Spray your glass ramekins with a very thin layer of non-stick spray.ย ย Divide the Panna Cotta mixture equally between the ramekins, and refrigerate until the mixture is completely set.ย ย It could take about 3 to 5 hours minimum.ย ย Itโ€™s better to prepare it the night before.

For the Strawberry Sauce:

  • Clean and chop the berries roughly and add sugar, orange liquor and zest. Let them macerate for at least 2 hours.ย ย Test a couple of strawberries to make sure they are sweet enough.ย ย If they are not, add more sugar. If they are too sweet, add some lemon juice. Puree in the blender into a smooth sauce.
