HONEY PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Prepare six dariole or timbale moulds by brushing lightly with almond oil or a very light tasting oil. (I have used cooking spray successfully). Place the moulds on a tray- this makes it easier later with transferring to the refrigerator.

• In a seperate bowl, heat the milk and honey on High for 2 minutes.
• Strain the gelatine mix into the hot milk/honey mixture. Quickly stir to combine.
• Whisk in the cream and a couple of drops of vanilla essence.
• Pour the custrad into your moulds. Loosely cover with plastic cling wrap. Chill for at least 4 hours.
• Remove from fridge approx 30 mins prior to serving. I usually do this as we are about to eat our main meal.
• To serve- remove pannacotta from moulds. Lightly brush the top of the custard with water. Run a small bladed knife around the outside of the ustard. Invert onto plates and serve with your choice of fruits, sauce, berry coulis or a drizzle of honey.
• If the custard did not centre on the plate when removed from the mould, you should be able to slide it over (that was the reason for the brushing of water).
