LEARN MOREPreparation
Prepare the custard (pannacotta). Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let stand until absorbed. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and spices. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and honey. Pour the hot milk in a stream over the eggs while beating and then put in the saucepan. Add the vanilla extract and Scotch. Cook over low heat for a few minutes while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and add the gelatin mixture. Mix until completely dissolved. Strain through a sieve over a bowl. Place this bowl over another bowl filled with ice water. Stir often. Beat the cream and gently fold into the rest of the custard mixture. Pour into 6 verrines and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Prepare the topping. In a small frying pan, slightly brown the gingerbread cubes on all sides in the butter over low heat. Place on a paper towel. Beat the cream until it is firm and then add the honey.
Right before serving, place a spoonful of whipped cream on each pannacotta. Decorate with cinnamon or nutmeg and the gingerbread croutons.
Tips
Get a head start: The pannacotta can be prepared 2 days in advance. The whipped cream can also be prepared 2 days in advance but will need a bit of whisking just before serving.
