Yogurt Panna Cotta with Walnuts & Honey

Yogurt Panna Cotta with Walnuts & Honey combines Greek yogurt with a classic “cooked cream” Italian dessert. Although gelatin-based panna cotta can be unmolded, I added the creamy mixture to dessert glasses and then topped it with toasted almonds and locally produced honey. It could also be topped with fruit sauces (even chocolate) or servee with assorted berries or other fruits.

1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water

Toppings:
About ½ cup toasted walnuts (bake for 5 minutes in 350° oven)
