Ingredients for Cocoa Panna Cotta For 2 people
Unsweetened fresh milk 150 ml Unsweetened yogurt 50 gr Honey 20 gr Gelatin powder 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder 1 teaspoon
What is Gelatin Powder?
- Gelatin is a product extracted from collagen found in animal bones and skin. Animal skin or bones undergo a very thorough processing from the cleaning stage to becoming gelatin that can be used in food.
- Gelatin is produced in two common forms: gelatin powder and gelatin sheets. Gelatin can be considered an odorless, tasteless type of protein, but there are also types that are slightly yellow.
- You can find both powdered and sheet gelatin at baking supply stores, supermarkets near you, or on e-commerce websites. Make sure to choose a reputable seller to ensure quality!
Where to buy cocoa powder?
- You can easily find cocoa powder at markets, ingredient supply stores, or supermarkets near your home like TasteVN.
- You can also easily order cocoa powder on e-commerce sites and online shopping platforms like bachhoaxanh.com.
- No matter where you buy it, you should choose a reputable seller to ensure quality.
How to make Cocoa panna cotta
-
Cook the panna cotta mixture
First, put 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder into a bowl and soak it with 10ml of water for 5 minutes to let the gelatin bloom.
In a pot, combine 150ml of fresh milk, 20gr of honey, and 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder. Place the cocoa milk mixture on the stove and heat it over medium heat until it starts to steam, then reduce to low heat.
Next, pour the soaked gelatin into the pot and stir well until fully dissolved, then turn off the heat, add 50gr of unsweetened yogurt at room temperature to the milk mixture and stir well.
Pour the mixture into a cup through a sieve for a smooth texture, then cover the cup tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours.
-
Remove the pudding from the cup
When removing the pudding, soak the bottom of the cup in a bowl of hot water for about 8 seconds. After soaking, turn it upside down onto a plate and gently shake the bottom of the cup until the pudding falls out.
Tip: Avoid soaking for too long; if you do, it will melt immediately because the gelatin will dissolve if exposed to heat for too long.
-
Final product
Cocoa panna cotta is wobbly like jelly. It melts right in your mouth, with a delicious cocoa flavor and a sweet hint of honey. Eating it on hot summer days is just perfect.

Soak Gelatin
Prepare a bowl of cold water and soak 10 gr of leaf gelatin until it expands.
Note: In this step, you can use 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder as a substitute, but absolutely do not use agar powder, because a successful panna cotta should melt in your mouth. If you use agar powder, the final product will be crunchy, not soft and melting as expected!
-
Heat the chocolate mixture
Place a pot on the stove, then add the following ingredients in order: 100 gr of chopped dark chocolate, 1 cup of fresh milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir until the mixture melts, then add the bloomed gelatin, and mix in 5 tablespoons of Whipping cream gently.
-
Pour the panna cotta mixture into jars
Prepare jars like yogurt jars, after the chocolate mixture cools, pour it into each jar and refrigerate for 3 hours.
-
Make the chocolate cream layer on top
Add 50 gr of chopped chocolate and 3 tablespoons of Whipping cream into a bowl, then steam it and stir until the chocolate melts. Finally, wait for the mixture to cool and pour it over the top of the pudding, then return it to the refrigerator for another hour before serving.

Final Product
The finished panna cotta melts in your mouth, rich with chocolate flavor blended with a slightly bitter and creamy chocolate topping on the surface, making it extremely appealing. Let’s make this simple dessert for the whole family right away!
How to store panna cotta
- Panna cotta can be placed in the refrigerator to preserve and used within 1 – 2 days.
- How to store whipping: unused whipping cream can be kept in the refrigerator, clean the cream stuck on the rim of the container, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and then place it in the fridge; this method will keep the whipping cream for about half a month. Do not store it in the freezer as it will cause the cream to separate.
- Alternatively, you can transfer the excess whipping cream into a clean glass bottle (that has been washed, rinsed with boiling water, and dried) and then seal it tightly before placing it deep in the refrigerator, avoiding the door of the fridge. This method will help you preserve the whipping cream for up to 1 month.
