Studies show that sweeter-than-sugar honey has disease-fighting antioxidants. It also makes Bonaparte's unique dessert bee-licious! Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups cold skim milk |
1 tablespoon agar flakes (a seaweed gelatin found at health food stores) or powdered gelatin |
1 cup half-and-half |
6 ounces goat cheese |
1/4 cup honey |
1 vanilla bean, cut lengthwise and seeds scraped, or 2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced |
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil |
2 teaspoon lemon thyme |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Pour milk into a medium pot and sprinkle agar on top. Allow to rest until agar (or gelatin) becomes clear and puffs slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Bring milk to a simmer; cook, stirring often, until flakes dissolve, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool slightly (leave just warm enough to meltnot curdlecheese). Whisk in half-and-half, cheese, honey and vanilla seeds. Divide mixture among 8 martini glasses or 1-cup ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap; chill until set, about 2 hours. Mix strawberries, vinegar, basil, thyme, pepper and sugar in a bowl. If serving in glasses, top each with berry mixture. If serving out of a ramekin, run a knife along the inside edge and turn out onto a plate; top with berry mixture.
