Chocolate Panna Cotta

I made a big Italian feast for my fam this past weekend, and for dessert I made panna cotta. It's so dark and delicious!

Chocolate Panna Cotta

1 c. Marscapone
4 c. Heavy cream
1 bag 60% cacao dark chocolate chips
8 tablespoons sugar
5 tsp gelatin
Pinch of salt
Optional - half dark chocolate bar, grated.

1. Oil 8 tea cups or ramekins

2. Pour out 1/4 cup cream, and sprinkle gelatin on top. Allow gelatin to soften, 10 minutes.

3. Pour marscapone, cream, sugar and salt into a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

4. Pour in chocolate chips, stir until dissolved and incorporated.

5. Place bowl of cream/gelatin into hot water. Stir until gelatin has dissolved.

6. Add gelatin mixture to marscapone mixture. Pour panna cotta mix into teacups or ramekins. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving.

TO SERVE:

Put cup/ ramekin into hot water to allow panna cotta to melt a bit. Loosen edges with warm knife. Put saucer on top of cup, turn upside down, and panna cotta should flop out of cup. Sprinkle dark chocolate shaving on top and serve.
