This decadent salted chocolate panna cotta has become my go to dessert when I want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just an hour, and most of that is chilling time, so you can relax while it sets. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants that make this indulgence feel a little less guilty, and honestly, the contrast between the rich cocoa and that touch of salt is absolutely magic. Fresh raspberries brighten it up beautifully, and the best part? You probably have most of these ingredients already in your pantry.
