Chocolate Panna Cotta with Blueberries - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute gelatin with a vegetarian alternative?

Yes! Agar-agar is a great vegetarian substitute for gelatin. Use the same amount, but dissolve it in boiling liquid as it requires higher heat to activate.

How long can I store chocolate panna cotta in the fridge?

Panna cotta keeps well for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent absorbing other flavors.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely! Replace the cream with full-fat coconut milk for a rich, dairy-free version. The texture will be similarly luxurious.

Why is my panna cotta not setting properly?

This usually happens if the gelatin wasn't fully dissolved or the mixture wasn't cooled sufficiently before refrigerating. Ensure you stir thoroughly and chill for at least 4 hours.

Can I freeze chocolate panna cotta?

Freezing isn't recommended as it changes the creamy texture. Panna cotta is best enjoyed fresh from the fridge.

How can I unmold panna cotta cleanly?

Briefly dip the mold in warm water (5-10 seconds) then invert onto a plate. Run a thin knife around edges first if needed.

What other fruits pair well besides blueberries?

Raspberries, strawberries, or caramelized bananas work beautifully. A citrus zest or passion fruit sauce also complements the chocolate.

Can I make individual servings instead of one large mold?

Yes! Use ramekins or glasses for elegant single servings. Adjust chilling time to 2-3 hours for smaller portions.

How can I make this lower in sugar?

Reduce sugar by half or use erythritol/monk fruit sweetener. The chocolate and berries will still provide plenty of flavor.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of chocolate glaze?

Definitely! Melt 70% dark chocolate into the cream mixture for a deeper flavor. Use about 100g chocolate for this quantity.
