Strawberry-Lemon Panna Cottas
- One 1/4-ounce packet unflavored powdered gelatin
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Kosher salt
- 4 large strawberries, diced into small pieces
- Honey, for drizzling
- Special equipment: six 4-ounce glass bowls or ramekins
- Put 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the water, stir and let sit until the gelatin has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir the half-and-half and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar melts and the half-and-half is hot and begins to steam.
- Stir in the softened gelatin, lemon zest, vanilla and a large pinch of salt.
- Make sure all the gelatin dissolves.
- Divide the mixture evenly into 6 small glass bowls, and let cool for a few minutes.
- Wrap and refrigerate until chilled and set (the panna cottas will be jiggly), about 4 hours.
- (They can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.)
- Fill a medium bowl with very hot water.
- Working with one panna cotta at a time, dip a bowl almost completely in the water, and hold it there for about 1 minute.
- Dry off the bowl, then invert it onto a small serving plate.
- Repeat with the remaining panna cottas.
- (They can be unmolded and inverted onto the serving plates up to 3 hours before serving.)
- Top each with a mound of strawberries, and drizzle with honey.
