Method

Prepare Panna Cotta

  1. 1

    Soak Gelatin

    Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5-10 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the Alpaco chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Squeeze the excess water from the gelatin and add it to the chocolate mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Stir until fully dissolved and combined.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Pour the mixture into molds and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Prepare Mushroom Garnish

  1. 5

    Sauté Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh mushrooms, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté until golden brown and tender.

Prepare Rye Crumble

  1. 6

    Make Crumble

    In a mixing bowl, combine rye flour, butter, and brown sugar. Mix until crumbly, then spread on a baking sheet.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool.

Prepare Haskap Sauce

  1. 8

    Cook Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine haskap berries, water, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 10-15 minutes).

Serve
