To get into the spirit of Christmas a little cocoon this year, the stemmed glasses are filled with a natural sweet amber wine Rasteau from Domaine des Girasols. And the dessert is greedy, melting, but light with a panna cotta with honey, pear and spices! Creamy and spicy, it is adorned with a pretty granola-cinnamon topping, giving it an enveloping side that is accentuated by the crunch. With this dessert, we play with contrasts of textures, temperatures and flavors. For Christmas, treat yourself to a simple but refined dessert !
Préparation

The day before or at least 4 hours before, soften the gelatin in cold water. Boil the milk. Add the honey off the heat.

Heat the cream very gently. Squeeze out the gelatine and dissolve it in the hot milk, then mix it with the cream. Pour into silicone molds.

Set aside in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

In a saucepan, place your pears, peeled and cut in half. Cover with water to the top, then add the spices and sugar. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook for about 10 minutes.

Once cooked, drain them. Heat three tablespoons of honey in a pan and add the pears to brown them nicely. Remove the pears and add the butter to the pan to make a small caramel.

Turn out your panna cotta onto plates, add half a pear and a tablespoon of granola. Finish with a little caramel on each plate.
