Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bloom the gelatine by sprinkling it over 2 tablespoons of cold water and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of milk, and ½ cup of dulce de leche. Heat until it steams, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatine until completely dissolved.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
  5. Pour into dessert cups, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  6. Prepare the caramel layer by heating ½ cup of dulce de leche until soft, then pipe over the panna cotta.
  7. For the truffles, heat ½ cup of heavy cream and pour over 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes before stirring until smooth.
  8. Pipe small truffle kisses on top of each panna cotta.
  9. Return to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set the ganache.
