Try this delicious Panna Cotta With Coffee Syrup And Almond Toffee Shards recipe for a real treat.

Serves 6
Preparation time 20 minutes (plus allow to chill overnight)
Cooking time 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS
Panna Cotta
200 ml milk
600 ml thickened cream
80 gm caster sugar
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
4 gold strength-strength gelatin leaves

Coffee syrup
200 gm caster sugar
100 ml espresso-strength Coffee Sereno Blend*

Coffee almond shards
200 gm caster sugar
80 gm almonds, coarsely chopped
½ tsp very finely ground coffee beans

METHOD
1 Place milk, cream, sugar and vanilla pod and seeds in a saucepan over low heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring to just below boiling point, then remove from heat and stand for 15 minutes to infuse. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 3 minutes to soften.
2 Meanwhile, gently reheat the cream mixture over low heat. Squeeze gelatine to remove excess liquid, then add leaves to cream and stir until dissolved. Cool slightly, then strain and pour into six 150ml serving glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight until set.
3 Meanwhile, for coffee syrup, bring sugar and 100ml water to the boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush and cook over medium heat until a caramel coloured (5-10 minutes). Add coffee (being careful as hot caramel may spit) and stir over low heat until syrupy (1-2 minutes), then set aside to cool.
4 Meanwhile, for coffee almond shards, bring sugar and 100ml water to the boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush, cooking over medium heat until caramel coloured (5-10 minutes). Stir through almonds and coffee, pour onto a sheet of baking paper and set aside to cool (10-20 minutes). Break into shards and set aside.
5 To serve – pour some syrup over the panna cotta and serve with the coffee almond shards. Serve extra syrup in a small jug.
