If you are not new on this site, you will know that I love all desserts that you can eat with a spoon: mousses, creams, trifles… and panna cotta! I also like individual servings and I have been making these panna cotta shooters for a while now. I often take them to friends’ houses for parties and get togethers as they are easy to transport and look cute! They work great for potlucks too. This panna cotta is made with white chocolate (my husband’s favourite) and it is topped with raspberry coulis… who here doesn’t think that white chocolate and raspberry were meant to be eaten together?? Enjoy!

To make the raspberry coulis, heat up the raspberry and caster sugar together with the water until the sugar melts. Then blend and sieve to make the coulis (you may need to add a little water if the sauce is too thick).

Recipe Notes
You can also serve these as individual panna cotta.
Hi,
I am looking to make this recipe but I also want to know if I want to make it just as a vanilla panna cotta can I substitute the white chocolate for vanilla? what adjustments will I need to make for the sugar?
Hi Joanne
I have a vanilla panna cotta recipe on my site too. You can check it out here: http://www.manusmenu.com/vanilla-panna-cotta-with-passion-fruit-coulis
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
More than I can say, Panna cotta is a little bit complicated but nice
I’m trying this today
May I know how is the texture supposed to be like? I tried making it and it turns out to be very creamy, when I scooped with a spoon it doesn’t have a shaky texture like jelly. I remembered trying some panna cotta outside having resebling like a jelly texture, did I do something wrong?
It’s supposed to be like a jelly… wobbly, but firm enough to cut it. Maybe you didn’t use enough gelatine? Or the gelatine strength was low… Try and read the packet’s instructions and see how much they suggest using per cup/litre.
Have just made these and now impatiently waiting for them to set!! My raspberry coulis turned out too thin rather than too thick maybe cos I used frozen raspberries? !
How long do you reckon these will stay good in the fridge?
Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Clair! I think the coulis might be thin because of the frozen raspberries. You could boil it down to reduce it further if you like, but I prefer it thinner… 😉 These should keep well up to 3 days in the fridge. Enjoy! 🙂
Update:
These turned out great. Nice and firm and came out of the moulds easily. My guests were very impressed. Coulis tasted fab too.
Wonderful recipe, off to check out more of your posts.

DELISH!!!! A must try. Thanks.
Panna cotta is such a wonderful dessert, but I don´t remember ever making my own. Interesting to add white chocolate and make it even creamier. They are gorgeous!
Panna cotta is so delicate, I love this kind of dessert too, the ones you can eat with a spoon. And this one is perfect for summer time.
Oohh, they are so beautiful, Manu! I would have treats like this anytime. 🙂
Wish I could just reach in and grab one. Such a great idea.
Love panna cotta, have to try it using white chocolate:)
Adding these lovely treats to my limited dessert repertoire..
You always make the BEST shooters! I can’t wait to try these! They sure look pretty!
Looks and sounds really great! Of course that white chocolate and raspberries are such a wonderful combination! 🙂
This looks fantastic! On our recent trip to Italy we ate so much panna cotta and this was one of my favorite flavor combos! Beautiful!
