    Place glucose in a small bowl and add a small splash of water to thin slightly. Brush onto rim of glass, before dipping into black sugar (only dip once panna cotta has had the full chilling time). Set aside.

Method - Whipped Cream

  1. Step 1

    Whip cream, icing sugar and Vanilla Bean Paste to firm peaks before spooning into a piping bag fitted with a large round piping nozzle. Pipe cream onto panna cottas. Knead Ready to Roll Icing until smooth and pliable. Colour with Black Food Colour Gel, then use the end of a straw to create eyes and mouth. Place onto whipped cream when ready to serve.

Honey can be used in place of Glucose. We used glucose as it has a neutral flavour.

We used jars with a volume of (2/3 cup) 160ml
