Instructions
Add 3 tablespoon of water to a small bowl. Sprinkle the powdered gelatine evenly over the top and set aside to bloom, at least 5 minutes.
In a medium size sauce pan combine cream, milk, sugar, espresso powder, dark chocolate and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium to medium high heat and cook until the chocolate has melted and the sugar has fully dissolved. Remove from the heat.
Add the bloomed gelatine to the cream mixture and whisk until well combined with no lumps. Carefully pour into the serving pots and place in the fridge to set for at least 6 hours and up to 3 days.
Remove from the fridge and top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate and a coffee bean if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
