Layered Panacotta / Jelly / Jello ideas? Something special!?!
Chocolate Panna Cotta
1 c. milk
1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin
3 c. whipped cream
1/3 c. honey
1 tbsp. sugar
pinch of salt
3 tbsps. cocoa powder
6 tbsps. finely chopped dark chocolate
White Panna Cotta
1 c. milk
1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin
3 c. whipped cream
1/3 c. honey
1 tbsp. sugar
6 tbsps. white chocolate, finely chopped (optional)
pinch of salt
Topping - chopped or sliced fruits (like strawberries); or you can substitute a dollop of whipped cream with chocolate shavings.
Chocolate Panna Cotta
Place the milk and gelatin in a bowl and let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
Mix the cocoa powder and sugar in a saucepot. Whisk in whipped cream and place over medium heat. Add salt and honey to the mixture. Heat to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Add gelatin mixture. Heat and whisk constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved (do not heat to a simmer). Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. Pour 1/3 c. mixture into 10 wine glasses. Refrigerate for about 3 hours or until set.
White Panna Cotta
After the chocolate panna cotta has set, start on the white panna cotta recipe by going through the same procedure as above but eliminating the chocolate ingredients. An alternative in this step is to substitute 6 tbsps. white chocolate to the dark chocolate.
Once you have strained the mix into the pitcher take our the wine glasses with the chocolate panna cotta and pour 1/3 c. of the white panna cotta over the dark one. This will form 2 layers.Refrigerate for another 3 hours or until set.
Before serving spoon or arrange the fruits on top or garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Jello, but when you say "something special" jello just doesn't come to mind. Panacotta is special however. When I made it, I cooked the cream with a vanilla bean and orange peels, and then strained it before pouring it into the ramekins.
As for the jello, I made a nice mold in a bundt pan using fresh diced strawberries, strawberry jello and cool whip, so it had that berries and cream flavor. Maybe you could do layers like that in champagne glasses or some other type of fancy glass.
