Instructions
SOFTEN GELATINE: Place the gelatine sheets in a small bowl of room temperature water and allow to soften for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, gently heat the coffee and sugar in a medium saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
COMBINE LIQUIDS: R from the heat, squeeze the liquid out of the gelatine sheets, then stir them into the hot coffee mixture, one at a time. Stir in 250ml of the cream, then divide the mixture evenly between 6 coffee or teacups.
ADD WHIPPED CREAM; Whip the remaining cream and the powdered sugar until stiff. Spoon over the top of each panna cotta, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill until set. This takes 3-4 hours, depending on your fridge.
GARNISH AND SERVE: Before serving, grate over the dark chocolate. If you like, serve with a bowl of chocolate covered coffee beans on the side.
Notes
If you or your guests can't have caffeine, simply replace the coffee with decaf.
