This is a recipe i read in Master Chef magazine, from a book extract in "Eamon's Kitchen". But the salted caramel sauce did not work for me, so I substituted with butterscotch (I will also post the recipe for the salted caramel sauce).
Ingredients:
Panna Cotta
1 cup thickened cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split
2 tsp powdered gelatine
Chocolate Mousse
2 tsp powdered gelatine
2 cups thickened cream
1/3 cup castor sugar
1/3 cup Dutch cocoa*
60g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
Butterscotch sauce
2/3 thick cream
3/4 firmly packed brown sugar
50g butter, cut into cubes
2 tsp vanilla essence
Chocolate Glaze
1/2 cup thickened cream
100g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
METHOD
1. Panna Cotta. place cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan and bring almost to the boil over medium heat. Remove from heat. place gelatin and 1tbs boiling water in a small bowl, stir until dissolved, then stir into cream mixture. stand for 20 minutes to infuse. Strain through a fine sieve into jug. Discard bean. Pour into 8 glasses. refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Chocolate mousse. place gelatin and 2 tbs boiling water in a small bowl and stir until dissolved. Place 1/2 cup cream and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Sift sugar and cocoa over cream mixture, then whisk until smooth. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat, then stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved. Cool for one minute, then stir in chocolate until smooth. Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl, then refrigerate for one hour.
3. place everything into a saucepan and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes or until well combined.Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove the pan from the heat. Set aside.
4.Place cream in a small pan.bring to boil over medium heat. remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until smooth.
