This Thermomix chocolate raspberry pannacotta is delicious! A very decadent dessert for those of you that are following the LCHF (low carb high fat) way of eating. With many thanks to my dear friend Tania Lee for sharing this delicious recipe with us.

For those of you following LCHF I have a special treat for you that you can enjoy as an impressive but secretly easy dessert. I’ve used xylitol and have added the raw sugar option for those on an unrestricted way of eating. Feel free to use your own preferred sweetener. The tangy raspberry layer teams so well with the chocolate layer, and the crunchy cacao nibs sprinkled on top add a lovely texture to complete the dessert. Even though this makes a large quantity, they keep very well covered and refrigerated for up to a week.
This recipe can also be used for variations. By using just the chocolate Pannacotta recipe you can easily make Choc-Mint Pannacotta, by adding a few drops of peppermint extract or oil. Or even Jaffa Pannacotta, by adding a few drops of orange extract or oil. Can also just use the Raspberry Pannacotta, can double up the quantity and serve it with a generous dollop of cream and fresh raspberries.
