Ingredients
- Oil for greasing
- 450 grams plant-based milk
- 75 grams demerara sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 teaspoon agar-agar powder
- 270 grams dark chocolate chopped
- 42 grams vegan butter 3 tablespoons
- 150 grams unsweetened soy yogurt
- Toasted hazelnuts roughly chopped (to garnish, optional)
- 25 grams dark chocolate to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Grease a rectangular mold with a bit of oil.
- In a small saucepan, bring the plant-based milk to medium heat. Mix in the sugar, salt, and agar-agar, stirring occasionally. Once it starts to simmer, maintain for 1 minute and then remove from heat.
- Mix in the chocolate until it's almost melted, then add the butter and yogurt. Stir until all the ingredients are completely melted and incorporated.
- Pour into the mold and let it cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- If necessary, run a knife around the edges to help unmold.
- Optional: toast a handful of hazelnuts (9-10 minutes at 350°F/175°C), remove the skins, roughly chop, and use to decorate the panna cotta. Melt a little chocolate in a double boiler and drizzle over the hazelnuts following a zigzag pattern.
