Honey Vanilla Panna Cotta

Makes 6 individual servings

Prep Time 15 Minutes

6 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup honey

Pinch of sea salt

1 vanilla bean, split and scraped

2 packages of plain gelatin

3 cups diced fresh berries

¼ cup honey

Juice of one lemon

Bring cream, vanilla bean, salt, and honey to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.  You want bubbles to just appear around the rim of the pan; do not boil.  While the cream is simmering, bloom the gelatin in 4-6 Tbsp. of ice cold water.  Once the hot cream is ready, pour 1 cup of the hot cream into the gelatin to temper it and then add the mixture back to the rest of the cream and whisk for 2-3 minutes.  Remove the vanilla bean.  Pour the cream into 1-cup sized vessels like a small jar or glass.  Refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight.  To make the berries, simply clean and slice your favorite berries and add honey and lemon.  The amount of honey may vary depending on the sweetness of the berries.  Top each chilled pudding with a scoop of berries when ready to serve.
