Al’s attempt at cooking #2: Lindt chocolate panna cotta

Recipe: (courtesy of Neil Perry + Donna Hays, and tinkered by me - less sweet + creamy... ironically this dessert is cream based LOL)

Main ingredients:

- 100g chocolate (lindt 70%)

- 400ml pouring cream

- 1/4 cup caster sugar 

- gelatin leaves (didn't have any, so i used powder (2tsp) instead) 

Method: argh... too much effort to type... lolz. i'll post if ppl want it 

* note: recipe suggested 4 moulds... i think the volume here is enough for... 8! especially if u plan to actually have dinner before hand. LOL

Review:

- nice shiny surface (pre de-moulding, sigh), and has a tremulous wobble. It has a deliciously smooth and creamy texture on the palate - a perfect match with papaya, or any summery fruit to help cut through the rich panna cotta! 

Issues: 

- difficult to de-mould --> next time shall rememeber to fill all the way to the brim, and oil lightly but evenly, and use conical shaped moulds instead.

- possibly a err'ing on too soft --> a tad more gelatin
