Gluten Free Honey Panna Cotta Recipe

While my husband was outside making fire, fighting off mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds, and being a he-man at the barbeque today, I was in the house doing “the woman’s work” of making side dishes and dessert for Memorial Day.

I know I should be offended by this concept that my hubby is the only one in the family capable of manning the grill but let me tell you a secret, I would so rather stay inside, nice and cool, bug-free and look like I am working hard, taking lots of credit when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. I am all about simple with lots of “WOW” factor.

Take for example this cool and refreshing dessert, just the thing after a heavy meal. It is a gluten-free, dairy-free, honey panna cotta. It seems fancy-schmancy, but in fact, it takes just a few minutes of active work and the rest of the time, the fridge does all the work for you!

In this recipe the honey is not only the sweetener but the flavoring agent so it is important to use good honey – I used Organic Honey from Wholesome!. I also used almond milk but you can use any kind of milk you like. Topped with a handful of sweet/tart berries and another drizzle of honey, this dessert is a symphony of tastes and textures.

OK, off to make myself look tired (I am going to have to work at it, I’ve been loafing all day!) and then to accept kudos for my lovely dessert. Can we keep just how easy it was to ourselves?  Thanks!
