Panna Cotta!

I've been craving for this dessert for 2 days already. I have no idea where to get it (there's a resto in Tagaytay that sells it but I cant possibly go all the way there just for that) so here's the recipe, maybe I can actually prepare it and finally have a taste of it!

I want Panna Cotta!

Panna Cotta al Caffe (serves 2)

4 oz/120 ml very strong espresso or coffee
8 oz/240 ml heavy (double) cream
2 oz/60 g sugar
1 envelope/(1 teaspoon/7 g) unflavored powdered gelatin

Pour half of the cream into a saucepan, add the sugar and espresso, and heat almost to a boil. Remove from heat and sprinkle gelatin on top. Stir until the gelatin dissolves and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

Whip remaining cream into soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the gelatin mixture. Pour the cream into 2 individual ring or round molds and refrigerate for about 3 hours.

To serve, remove panna cotta from moldsonto serving plate, decorate with whippedcream and whole coffee beans or a sprinklingof ground coffee.
