• •2 1/2 cups heavy cream
• •1/2 cup whole milk

• •1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• •2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
• •3 tablespoons cold water
• •2 cups mixed fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• •1/4 cup granulated sugar
• •1 tablespoon lemon juice

1. 1

   Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and honey. Heat over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.

4. 4

   Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir to combine.

   Pour the panna cotta mixture evenly into serving glasses or ramekins. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

6. 6

   To make the berry sauce, combine the mixed fresh berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries release their juices, about 5 minutes.

   Remove the berry sauce from heat and let cool. Blend for a smooth sauce or leave chunky as desired.

8. 8

   Once the panna cotta is set, spoon the berry sauce over the top before serving.
