mmmm.....

Panna Cotta Shots

Set 1: [4 glasses]
8 T CranRaspberry juice
1/2 t gelatin [scant]
few drops creme de cacao

Set 2: [2 glasses]
3T Cassis
1/4T gelatin [generous]

Halve the liquid and sprinkle the gelatin over top.  Let sit a few minutes then stir.  Warm in microwave, 10 seconds at a time, until gelatin dissolves.  Stir in rest of liquid.

Pour into pretty shot glasses—about 1/3.  Set glasses into empty egg carton at rakish angles.  Refrigerate for about an hour til set.

Panna Cotta
1C Cream
1T sugar
drops vanilla
drops almond
1.5 oz shaved good chocolate [ScharffenBerger 70% or 99% recommended]
1/4C cream
1t gelatin

Put 1/4C cream into 2C pyrex spouted measuring cup and sprinkle gelatin over top.  Heat 1C cream on stove with sugar until sugar melts.  Do NOT allow to boil, but heat well.  Stir gelatin cream and add chocolate shavings.  Pour warm cream over top and stir.  Add vanilla and almond essence and stir more.  Keep stirring until gelatin is melted and chocolate incorporated.

Pour gently over top of chilled tilty shots.  Fill to almost top edge covering all gel.  Chill again—upright—for at least 2 hours.  4 would be better.  Garnish with dusting of nutmeg / chocolate shavings / single perfect raspberry / imagination.

Serve with demitasse coffee as an excuse to use demitasse spoons.  A good ruby port wouldn’t hurt.

Just for fun.

I’ll update and let ya know which was better…
