Chocolate Panna Cotta recipe with crushed candy canes

If you’re not familiar with Panna cotta it’s technically a basic pudding recipe but holds its shape, unlike pudding. It’s made with dairy and gelatin so it’s extra creamy and sets quickly. It’s a little “fancier” than a traditional pudding and perfect for holidays!

Panna cotta can also be molded in a ramekin and then served on a plate or in individual small cups. It’s usually topped with a glaze, fresh berries, or in this case crushed candy canes.

Panna cotta originated in Italy and means “cooked cream” in Italian. It’s considered a decadent dessert without the fuss! It’s very simple to make too. If you’re a fan, make sure you try our Pumpkin Spice Panna Cotta and our Eggnog Panna Cotta recipe!

How do you make Panna cotta?

Prepare the ingredients.

Pour milk and heavy cream into a saucepan.

Sprinkle with gelatin and then set aside for ten minutes.

Cook on medium heat for about 7 minutes until it reaches 135 dgerees. I brought mine to a boil for a minute too, constantly wishking so it doesn’t burn.

Remove from heat and then add in chocolate, salt and extract and stir until chocolate is melted.

Place 6 ramekins on a baking sheet and pour the cream into them.

Refrigerate about 4 hours until it’s a custard consistency and then garnish with crushed candy canes.

Tips for Making Panna Cotta

  • You can make panna cotta up to two days in advance of serving – just keep them covered in the fridge
  • Use plain, unflavored gelatin
  • Let the Panna cotta set for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Constantly stir while cooking so the milk doesn’t burn on the bottom.

How long will Panna cotta last in the fridge?

Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or until completely set. If you like, top with fresh fruit, berries, berry sauce, or lemon curd. It can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
