Ingredients
In the meanwhile, take a sauce pan and add the chopped chocolate, heavy cream and sugar to it.
Place the sauce pan / pot on medium to low flame and let it cook till the chocolate is completely melted and everything is mixed well.
Then add vanilla extract and stir it in and let it cool for 3 - 5 mins.
In the big bowl add hot boiling water till half height. In that place a smaller bowl. Take care the water is up to only half height of the smaller bowl and does not enter smaller bowl.
Using a fork, spoon or a small whisk start stirring / mixing the gelatin in the water. It will mix and turn into liquid. Let it stay in hot water.
Then Add the melted gelatin and whisk it into the chocolate mixture.
Finally add the cold milk and mix everything together till well combined.
Now strain the liquid to avoid any lumps in panna cotta. and let it rest for 10 mins.
Pour the liquid in individual serving container.
Refrigerate it for minimum 8 hrs or overnight. This will help the Panna Cotta to set.
Serve it with shavings of chocolate or any other toppings I mentioned earlier in the post. Though it tastes awesome just by itself too.
Notes
Be careful with gelatin do not boil it to melt the lumps
Use small serving cups.
Do not boil the chocolate, sugar and heavy cream mixture.
If you are not able to melt the gelatin in the way specified in the recipe, add it to the hot heavy cream, chocolate and sugar mixture.
If it still needs to melt then turn on the heat on low flame and keep stirring till all gelatin is dissolved. Be careful not to boil the mixture.
