Servings: persons

1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
3 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pinch salt
2 cups assorted fresh berries (I usually use blueberries, raspberries, and chopped strawberries)
Sauce
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 lb semisweet chocolate, cut in chunks
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1
Place the milk in a small bowl.
2
Sprinkle the gelatin over. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
3
Pour milk mixture into a heavy saucepan and stir over medium heat just until the gelatin dissolves but the milk does not boil, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the cream, honey, sugar, and salt.
5
Stir until the sugar dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes.
6
Remove from the heat.
7
Pour into 6 wine glasses so that they are 1/2 full.
8
Cool slightly.
9
Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours.
10
For the sauce:
11
Combine the cream and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
12
Heat the mixture until bubbles appear around the sides of the pot, but do not allow the cream to boil.
13
Mix in the chocolate and vanilla; remove from the heat and stir until the chocolate melts and the sauce is smooth.
14
May be made ahead of time and rewarmed over low heat on the stovetop, or in the microwave on medium power.
15
Spoon berries atop the panna cotta, drizzle generously with chocolate sauce.
16
Top with more berries and a decorative drizzling of sauce, and serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
