Loved this! I used my vitamix and after putting the first batch through the strainer, I ran the leftovers from the mesh strainer back through the vitamix so that I ended up with the correct proportions for 8 cups and a little extra as well. I also added a bit more cocoa powder and re-heated the chocolate part before use because it will set up while waiting for the bottom in the freezer. It turned out GREAT! Love it!
This one was disappointing to me. The proportions at the end were totally off – not enough leftover panna cotta mixture for the cocoa, and then the cocoa was way too thick to set on top of the panna cotta. I added water after the fact but it just couldn’t turn out. The taste was okay but didn’t seem to me to be worth trying again.
