Chocolate Panna Cotta

I have never had chocolate panna cotta before, but when I saw Tami from Kneader’s Bakery make it a while back on Good Things Utah, I decided to give it a try. Panna cotta is an Italian dessert that means “cooked cream” and is usually made with cream, milk, sugar, and gelatin. It is actually pretty easy to make. I must say that this recipe is very rich. You don’t need a large serving.
I was only able to eat half of the the size I made for the picture. I think about 1/2 cup is the perfect size. It’s so rich you really can’t eat much more than that at a time. This was good, but I must admit, I’d prefer a chocolate mousse over a chocolate panna cotta. I prefer the creamy mousse texture to the gelatin-like panna cotta consistency.
