Instructions
To make coconut panna cotta, bring the creams and sugar to the boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring. Add gelatine and stir until it dissolves. Strain mixture, discarding the solids. Cool, then divide among 6 dariole moulds. Refrigerate for 6 hours or until set.
To make chocolate panna cotta, stir milk, cream and milk chocolate in a saucepan over medium heat, until chocolate has melted. Add gelatine and stir until it dissolves. Strain mixture. Cool, then divide among moulds, over coconut panna cotta. Refrigerate for 6 hours or until set.
Meanwhile, to make wafers, place butter, syrup and 70% cocoa chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water (don’t let bowl touch water). Stir until melted. Combine flour, baking cocoa and sugar, and stir into chocolate mixture until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until starting to firm.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper. Roll 2 teaspoonfuls of mixture into 2 balls and place 1 ball on each tray. Flatten slightly. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from oven, cover with baking paper and roll out until wafer-thin. Bake for a further 2 minutes or until crisp. Repeat with remaining mixture. Store wafers in an airtight container until needed.
To make compote, stir cherries, 60 ml water, sugar and vanilla in a pan over medium heat for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat and cool.
Serve panna cotta with wafers and compote.
