Espresso Panna Cotta with Cocoa Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon espresso beans, roughly ground
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 orange, peel only
- 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
- First add the cocoa powder to the heavy cream for the cocoa whipped cream.
- Stir well to combine then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Begin preparing the espresso panna cotta by placing the heavy cream, ground espresso beans, sugar and orange peel in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat and steep for 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the powdered gelatin and using a whisk stir over low heat to warm the mixture and dissolve the gelatin.
- Do not let it simmer.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve (this not only removes the peel and espresso beans, but also any undissolved gelatin) then pour into individual espresso cups.
- Cover with plastic and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
- Once you put these in the refrigerator you can finish preparing the cocoa whipped cream (alternatively, you can do it just before you serve the panna cotta).
- Whip the cocoa cream until it begins to thicken and then add the confectioners' sugar.
- Whip until soft peaks form and serve a spoonful over each of the panna cotta servings.
