Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 8 serving

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅔ Greek Yogurt cupsPlain (I used 2% Fage yogurt)
  • 2 cups Milk (1% or 2% would work fine)
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Agar powder
  • 3 oz Chocolate . Semisweet , finely chopped
  • ¼ cup Cocoa Unsweetened powder
  • 2 tsps Orange zest
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Lightly grease eight 6-oz ramekins that are more wide than deep and keep ready.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk milk, sugar, semi sweet chocolate and cocoa over medium heat until the mixture just starts to simmer, about 3~4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the agar powder and whisk vigorously to incorporate it into the mixture. Cook for 2~3 minutes for agar powder to dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine yogurt, orange zest and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture through a sieve into the yogurt and whisk well to combine. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared ramekins. Pour till the very top, so that it will be easy to unmold the panna cotta after setting.
  • Cover the ramekins and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled with chocolate granola, if desired.
