Heavenly Lavender and Honey Panna Cotta

A dessert that's light and ethereal, this panna cotta combines the soothing flavors of lavender with the natural sweetness of honey, creating a dish that's a fitting end to any divine meal.

Recipe Directions

Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
In a saucepan, heat heavy cream, honey, and lavender over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain to remove lavender.
Reheat the cream mixture gently, then add the softened gelatin, stirring until completely dissolved. Stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or molds. Chill for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Garnish with edible flowers before serving, adding a touch of beauty and elegance.
