- 6Pour the mixture evenly into 6 ramekins or serving glasses.
- 7Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle

Tips
- Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid a grainy texture in your panna cotta.
- For a cleaner drizzle, let the chocolate cool slightly before drizzling onto the chilled panna cotta.
- Adjust espresso powder quantity to your preference for a stronger or milder coffee flavor.
