How to Make White Chocolate Panna Cotta With Dark Chocolate Sauce

  1. **Make the Panna Cotta:**
  2. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup (60ml) of cold milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, 8 ounces (227g) white chocolate morsels, and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar.
  4. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the sugar is dissolved (about 4 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved.
  6. Stir in the remaining 1 1/4 cups (300ml) cold milk.
  7. Pour the mixture evenly into 4-6 stemmed glasses or 6 ramekins.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or until set.
  9. **Make the Dark Chocolate Sauce:**
  10. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 4 ounces (113g) dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream.
  11. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted (about 1-1.5 minutes).
  12. **Assemble and Serve:**
  13. If using ramekins, carefully invert the panna cottas onto serving plates. If using glasses, skip this step.
  14. Drizzle the warm dark chocolate sauce generously over the panna cottas immediately before serving.
  15. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs (optional).
