Girls of Bardon Glutton

WHEN WILL IT EVER END?!

Yes, it's yet another post on the feeding frenzy that happens behind our kitchen doors.

Soon, we might have to consider changing our blog name to - Girls of Glutton.

Sigh.

Winter, why art thou cruel?

Mmm...yummy but cruel.

Enjoy!

Caramel Chocolate Panna Cotta

This Italian dessert has gots to be one of the simplest things in life. There's only 3-4 basic essential ingredients, and the rest are up to you to add in for flavour. How easy is that?!

What You Need:

• 2 1/4 tsp unflavored gelatin
• 250ml heavy cream
• 100g white sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• cocoa powder
• chocolate (melted)

What You Need to Do:

• pour gelatine into 1/4 bowl of water, leave it to soak for 5 minutes
• heat cream and vanilla extract in saucepan, do not boil!
• for caramel making purposes, heat sugar in pan til it browns into thick caramel texture. (otherwise, you can just heat sugar and cream together)
• pour warm cream into caramel, stir constantly to avoide caramel from hardening
• add melted chocolate and cocoa (mixed with 2 tsp water)
• add gelatine and stir until completely dissolved
• pour into separate ramekins/mould
• leave to room temperature, then store in fridge until gelatine has set
• SERVE!

We didn't have proper ramekin dishes to use, so ordinary small bowls will do instead.

Leave to set, then flip bowl over onto serving plate to get that bouncy dome shape. Serve with evaporated milk, or fruit compote, or fresh berries, etc etc.

VOILA~
