Yoghurt Panna Cotta with Caramelized White Chocolate

•••

Who knew white chocolate could look like this! Baking white chocolate can covert it into a liquid caramel or taken further, into a delectable crumble. The darker you bake it, the less sweet it will become, but also take on a bitter note. This sweet and bitter profile, is wonderfully complimented with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes. Caramelized white chocolate pairs perfectly with the tang of Greek yogourt pannacotta.
