Panna Cotta can be classified as the most easiest yet luxurious dessert. It cannot only be prepared in a jiffy but has several options to play with.Flavors, toppings, layering and unmoulding all can be done with it. It also contains very few ingredients. the idea is to combine cream with your desired flavors and some other add-ons. Ideal for summer brunches and dinners, plated individually, it can attract quite a many oohs and aahs.

This time I have tried the chocolate version which is the favorite flavor of my kids all the time. The younger one is the one who persuades me to make something sweet and chocolaty. So here is my dark chocolate panna cotta, with the recipe adapted from William Sonoma website.

Ingredients
  1. Heavy Cream/Half n half 1 3/4 cup*
  2. Gelatin unflavored 1 1/4 tsp
  3. Salt a pinch
  4. Sugar 2 tbsp
  5. Dark chocolate 2 ounces [I used with 62% cocoa]
Instructions
  1. Take 1/4 cup of cream and sprinkle gelatin over it. Wait for 5 minutes until it blooms and heat just enough so the gelatin melts. You can do it on a water bath or microwave but for a few seconds only.
  2. Take the rest of the cream and add sugar, salt in it and let it boil.
  3. Pour over chocolate so that the chocolate melts while stirring.
  4. Add in the gelatin mixture.
  5. Pour in 4 lightly greased ramekins or one large dish.
  6. Chill for atleast 3-4 hours before serving.
  7. If you wish to unmould it, then put the base of the ramekin in hot water for one minute. Loosen it with a running knife and invert on a serving plate.
Notes
  1. *you can also use 1 cup milk and 3/4 cup cream or vice versa but the result will be less luscious nontheless tasty

I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I guess from Tiffany.

Since then I was always intrigued by how they were made.

The delish chocolate bites are easier to make than other varieties like bonbons.

A luscious chocolate ganache is prepared which is then divided into bite size pieces either by piping or scooping, dipped in tempered chocolate and rolled in cocoa powder.

Do you like truffles and have you ever tried making at home?

The brand I use the most is beryl's chocolate.(sw The brand I use the most is  beryl's chocolate.(swipe to see the packaging)

It's a Malaysian brand and I find it pretty easily here from @moltaqa.alkhabbazeen as well as in Pakistan from empress market karachi.(not sure about the current status,  will.update when I go in summers)

If you ask me one chocolate you should buy go for this brands 62% one either in coins or blocks. Coins are just easier to use. The 1.5 kg bag or 2 kg block is more than enough and has good price point. 

Therir 41% milk chocolate is great as well nut not recommended for baking. 

I use it for ganache, brownies, icecream, chocolate chip cookies, mousse and mousse cakes and in general great for dipping, coating etc.

I use milk chocolate 28% white one inky for white chocolate mousse or sometimes in cookies.

I use compound chocolate for chocolate decorations or making cake pops or cakesicles.
This also comes in block and small chocolate chips both are fine.

The other brands I have tried 
arabesque (belgium) 58%
@patissierchocolate (singapore) 61% ,41%

@callebautchocolate ( so popular, slightly overrated, difficult to get, available for bull orders)

dawn chocolate - good quality but i find it very sweet

All these brands are available in the above shops.
