Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder over 1/4 cup cold whole milk; let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine remaining 3/4 cup whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, and 3 tablespoons honey; heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin mixture until fully dissolved and smooth.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into six 4-ounce ramekins or glasses, allowing to cool slightly before refrigerating.
Step 5: Chill panna cotta for at least 4 hours or until set and firm to the touch.
Step 6: Before serving, top each panna cotta with thinly sliced fresh peaches and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a bright contrast.
