Greek Honey & Yogurt Panna Cotta is a twist on the classic Italian dessert that has become a favorite in Greece. This version is made with Greek yogurt, creme fraiche, and honey, which gives it a sweet and tangy flavor. It is a light and refreshing dessert that is perfect for summer and can be prepared in advance for a dinner party or special occasion.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, creme fraiche, and honey until smooth.
2.	In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, cream, and sugar and heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
3.	In a separate small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of cold water and let sit for 5 minutes until it becomes a gel.
4.	Once the milk mixture has come to a simmer, remove from heat and add the gelatin mixture, stirring until it is fully dissolved.
5.	Pour the milk mixture into the yogurt mixture and whisk until fully combined.
6.	In another medium bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
7.	Fold the egg whites into the yogurt mixture and pour into ramekins or serving glasses.
