Blogging Marathon: Week 3/ Day 8
Theme: Seasonal Dishes – Winter Dessert
Dish: Chocolate Panna Cotta without Gelatin (with Agar Agar)
This is a rich chocolaty dessert that is perfect for a holiday party. I was always under the impression that Panna Cotta is a fancy and very “gourmet” dessert. But come to find out it is quite simple to make and what better time than the holidays to serve this sinfully rich dish.
With a house full of chocolate lovers, my obvious choice was to make chocolate panna cotta. I used agar agar powder instead of gelatin to make a completely vegetarian dish. Agar Agar or China grass needs be dissolved in hot liquids in order for it to gel or set.
Strawberry Sauce:
This sauce is very simple to make and can be used on ice creams, pancakes and just about anything that needs some sweet, fruity goodness.
Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked up for BM# 27.

Just want to dig into it. Somehow I haven’t tried agar agar so far and so never ventured into this panna cotta world. 🙂
