Blackberry Panna Cotta Bars

Chocolate Mousse Bars

Method

Blackberry Panna Cotta Bars

  1. 1

    Prepare Blackberry Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine blackberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until blackberries soften and release their juices, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, pressing with a spatula to extract juice. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Bloom Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it blooms.

  3. 3

    Heat Cream

    In a separate saucepan, heat heavy cream, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and salt over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Stir in bloomed gelatin until dissolved.

  4. 4

    Combine and Set

    Remove the cream mixture from heat and stir in the blackberry juice. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.

  5. 5

    Prepare Crust

    In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together. Press into the bottom of the baking dish with the set panna cotta. Refrigerate until firm.

  1. 6

    Melt Chocolate

    Chop dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Melt it over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

  2. 7

    Whip Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Set aside.

  3. 8

    Separate Eggs

    Separate the egg whites and yolks into two different bowls.

  4. 9

    Mix Yolks with Sugar

    In the bowl with the yolks, add the remaining sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until pale and creamy.

  5. 10

    Combine Chocolate and Yolks

    Slowly fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until combined.

  6. 11

    Beat Egg Whites

    In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

  7. 12

    Fold Ingredients Together

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, followed by the beaten egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

  8. 13

    Pour into Pan

    Spread the chocolate mousse mixture over the set blackberry panna cotta layer. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

  9. 14

    Cut and Serve

    Once set, cut into bars and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Blackberry Panna Cotta and Chocolate Mousse Bars!
