Valentine's Dessert Recipe from Made in America

With over 300 natural chemicals in cocoa beans it’s chock full of goodness: Antioxidents, improvements to cardiac health, lowering cholesterol. Chocolate may not be an aphrodisiac as people often claim; however it is a mood enhancer, boosting the release of the bodies natural antidepressant, seratonin, as well as endorphin levels. No wonder it’s comforting! Here we have a recipe from Michael Mina for the Italian chocolate dessert, panna cotta [cooked milk].
