Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan combine the heavy cream and honey. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the honey is melted. Boil the cream for 3 minutes, stirring so that it doesn't scorch. Do not leave the cream unattended as it can easily boil over.

  • Divide the cream between individual ramekins or parfait glasses. Allow to cool before covering with film. Chill overnight or for at least 8 hours until completely set. Garnish with flowers if desired and enjoy!
