The first Sunday in September is Father's Day here in Australia, we celebrated with our extended family on Sunday evening at my parent's place. We had a full house - 10 adults and 3 grandchildren which made it extra special. On the menu was; Antipasto Platter, Antipasto Skewers, Mum's Lamb Roast, beautiful roast vegetables and dessert - White Chocolate Panna Cotta with Berry Coulis.
White Chocolate Panna Cotta
180g White Chocolate, chopped
2 cups of thickened cream
1 Tb caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
1 Tb boiling water
1 1/2 tsp gelatine powder
1. Combine chocolate, cream, sugar and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth.
2. Place boiling water in a small bowl. Sprinkle over gelatine mixture and stir until dissolved. Stir into chocolate mixture until smooth.
3. Pour mixture into a jug and divide between 6 espresso glasses or similar. (See Note at the end of recipe) Chill for 4 hours or until set.
Mixed Berrie Coulis
4tbs caster sugar
100mls water
300g frozen mixed berries (or fresh if in season)
1. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over a medium heat, stir until the sugar has dissolved then allow to boil and reduce to a syrup.
2. Keep about 3/4 cup of berries aside to add to dessert once the coulis is poured.
2. Place the remainder of the berries in another small saucepan over a low heat, crush lightly then pour over the sugar syrup, cook for a few minutes then strain through a sieve and pour into a small jug.
Notes:
This is a rich dessert, the serving size is more than enough!
You can serve this in espresso cups as the recipe suggests but I tried using moulds which also work well, I used containers from my daughter's fruit snacks, they are clear plastic and a perfect size. Prepare as per the recipe instructions and when you are ready to serve, sit the mould in boiling water for ten seconds, remove from water, gently squeeze the container around the outside to loosen mix from the plastic and tip on to serving plate.

This looks absolutely delicious. I may even attempt this one day when I'm feeling brave :-)
I agree this is one for the brave, the moment of reveal...will it splat or stay!!!
Yours looks sooo good :-)
I'm going to have to use your recipe here, I've been trying to find a good recipe for white chocolate pannacotta for quite some time. I'll let you know once I've made this.
I love the idea of using white chocolate in panna cotta - what a fantastic dessert. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
This dessert looks both delicious and elegant.
I adore panna cotta! I will definitely have to try this. I think the coulis (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) would make my husband love this recipe too.
Beautiful shot you took of it also!
Thanks for your lovely comments, this recipe is deceiving as it looks harder than it actually is! Be brave and have a go at making it - would love to hear how you go with it, thanks for visiting :)
Mmmm, I love panna cotta but have only ever made dark chocolate... this I must try as we still have some berries here:)
WOW! Looks amazing. So glad you linked this to my tasty tuesdays. Not sure I can make anything that looks this wonderful, but I might just have to give it a try.
Oh! This looks fabulous!
Thanks for commmenting on my calzones. Buffalo sauce is spicy. And salsa would actually make a great alternative! I'll have to try that myself. Thanks!
Oh wow! That looks really good. I've been meaning to get some whit chocolate; I have a couple different recipes I've been wanting to try out with it and now I can add one more to the list. Thanks for sharing and Happy Father's Day!
Hubby would love this. He loves white chocolate. Thanks for the recipe. Found you on Tasty Tuesdays
Wonder if replace the white choco with milk choco will it still work? since i am not a big fan of white chocolate....
Thanks!
OB - I'm sure it would work with milk or dark chocolate as long as you keep the measurements the same to help it set.
