Panna Cotta With Gin and Strawberries

Step 1: Soak gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes to soften.

Step 2: Place cream, honey and pod and seeds of 1 vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring to dissolve honey, and bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.

Step 3: Squeeze excess water from the gelatine and add to cream mixture, stirring to dissolve and then cool to room temperature, then add the buttermilk and stir to combine, and now discard pod and divide among six 250ml (1-cup) serving glasses and chill for 3 hours or until set.

Step 4: When ready to serve, preheat oven to 220°C and place strawberries on a baking tray with extra honey, 1 tablespoon gin and remaining vanilla pod and seeds and roast for 15-20 minutes or until softened and syrupy and cool slightly, then pour over remaining 2 tablespoons gin and serve with panna cottas.
