Hazelnuts and chocolate are a match made in heaven, as is chocolate and coffee. Here we have a ménage à trois in this beautiful Italian-style dessert.

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups  (625 mL)  whipping cream
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  granulated sugar
8 oz  (250 g)  bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  milk
2 pkg  unflavoured gelatin
1 cup  (250 mL)  strong coffee
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  hazelnut liqueur
Hazelnut Chocolate Praline:
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  granulated sugar
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  chopped hazelnuts
1/2 oz  (15 g)  chopped bittersweet chocolate

Preparation

In saucepan, heat 2 cups/500 mL of the cream with sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved, until just coming to boil. Place chocolate in heatproof bowl; pour cream mixture over top. Stir until chocolate is melted. Set aside.

Mix remaining cream with milk. Sprinkle gelatin over top; let stand for 5 minutes. Pour mixture into small saucepan; heat over medium heat, stirring, until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir into chocolate mixture. Stir in coffee and liqueur. Pour about 3/4 cup/175 mL of the mixture into each of 8 custard cups. Refrigerate until completely set, 4 to 6 hours.

Hazelnut Chocolate Praline: In heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat sugar and 2 tbsp/30 mL water over medium heat; cook, gently swirling pan once or twice, until rich amber colour. Remove from heat; add nuts, swirling pan to mix. Pour onto parchment paper–lined baking sheet; sprinkle chocolate over top. Let cool completely. Chop coarsely.

Loosen panna cottas by dipping each cup in hot water; unmould onto plate. Sprinkle with praline.
