A rich and creamy chocolate panna cotta paired with a crunchy spiced pepita brittle. A perfect dessert for any special occasion.

Ingredients - Serves 6

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and sugar. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let sit for 5 minutes to soften.
Heat the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Remove from heat and add the chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into six dessert cups and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
While the panna cotta is setting, make the pepita brittle. In a dry skillet, toast the pepitas over medium heat until lightly golden. Stir in the cayenne, cinnamon, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the honey over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Continue boiling until it becomes a deep amber color.
Pour the honey over the spiced pepitas and stir to coat. Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool.
Once the brittle is cool, break it into pieces. Serve the panna cotta topped with the spiced pepita brittle.
