| Amaretti Biscuits | 50g |
| Unsweetened Cocoa Powder | 50g |

Instructions
To create the Chocolate, Beer & Strawberry Dessert, begin by using a food processor to finely crush the amaretti biscuits. Transfer them to a mixing bowl, and sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir the two ingredients together to ensure they are well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until smooth and pale. Slowly pour in the 100ml of red beer, followed by the cocoa and amaretti mixture. Continue whisking with electric beaters to ensure the mixture remains smooth. Gradually add the milk while whisking, until the entire mixture becomes well-combined and slightly liquid in texture.
Now, move on to preparing the caramel. In a small saucepan, pour in the sugar and cook it over medium heat. Stir occasionally, allowing the sugar to melt completely into a golden, amber caramel.
Next, prepare your panna cotta molds. These should be small aluminum molds (around 130ml capacity, 8cm in diameter, and 6cm in height). Pour the prepared caramel into the bottoms of each mold, making sure it sticks to the sides as well.
Set the molds into a large baking tray and fill the tray halfway with water. This will create a gentle heat during baking.
Carefully pour the dessert mixture into each mold using a ladle, filling them up. Once all the molds are filled, place the tray in the oven to cook the dessert. Make sure the water in the tray doesn’t completely evaporate, as the steam will help the dessert cook evenly.
Serving Suggestions
Once your dessert has finished cooking, allow it to cool before refrigerating. Serve with fresh strawberries for an added touch of sweetness and color. This unique combination of beer, chocolate, and strawberries creates a dessert that’s both indulgent and refreshing. Enjoy!
