Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons gelatin

Instructions

1. Place the gelatin in a small bowl along with 1/4 cup of water. Stir and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb.

3. Place into the fridge to set for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius.
5. Trim and halve the strawberries. Pour over the honey and balsamic. Toss until evenly coated. Place on a baking tray.
6. Roast for 20-25 minutes. Leave to cool completely in the fridge.
7. Remove the panna cotta from the fridge 20 minutes before serving. Add a dollop of roasted strawberries on top. Enjoy!
