Instructions
-
To start, chop the dark chocolate using a sharp knife. Once chopped, melt the chocolate over a double boiler. To do this, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, then set the bowl over a pot of simmering water. The water should not touch the bowl; it should only generate steam to gently melt the chocolate.
-
Meanwhile, in another pot, combine the fresh cream and condensed milk. Gently heat the mixture, stirring occasionally.
-
Once the chocolate is melted, stir it frequently to ensure it melts completely and evenly.
-
Add the sifted icing sugar to the cream and condensed milk mixture. Stir well, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely.
-
Incorporate the melted chocolate into the cream mixture and stir until fully combined.
-
Soak the gelatin sheets in a small bowl of cold water for a few minutes until softened. Once softened, dissolve the gelatin by stirring it into the warm chocolate mixture until completely dissolved.
-
Carefully pour the mixture into egg-shaped molds, filling each half. Allow them to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until firm.
-
Once the panna cotta has set, whip the remaining 150g of cream in a high-sided bowl until it reaches soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining icing sugar (30g) and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
-
To remove the panna cotta from the molds, briefly dip the mold into hot water for a few seconds. Gently remove the panna cotta from the mold and place it on a plate for serving.
-
Using a piping bag, pipe the whipped cream on top of the panna cotta for decoration.
-
Garnish with fresh raspberries, currants, and a few sprigs of mint for a fresh and vibrant touch.
Enjoy these elegant chocolate panna cotta eggs as a delightful dessert for any special occasion!
