Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta with Baileys

This dark, silky pannacotta tastes a lot like Baileys (Original Irish cream liqueur) in custard form. Quick and easy, but very chocolaty and fun. This quick dark chocolate panna cotta with Baileys is one of my party panna cotta version and one of my husband’s favorite recipes.
