For the Panna Cotta
250 milliliters / 1 cup cream
50 milliliters milk
50 grams / 1/4 cup superfine/caster sugar

For the Hokey Pokey Crumb
Adapted from Chelsea Sugar
5 tablespoons superfine/caster sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
5 grams / 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Soak the gelatin sheets in water until soft.
- Place the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla seeds, manuka honey, salt (if using agar agar add this additionally and cook until it has reached 85C/185F by using a candy thermometer) into a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved and is bubbling and thickened somewhat for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, wring out the soft gelatin sheets and whisk into the hot cream mixture until the mixture has thickened, smooth but still has somewhat of a jiggle.
- Pour into your prepared dishes and place in the refrigetor until set or overnight.
- Meanwhile, to make the hokey pokey, prepare a baking tray with baking paper and grease with butter or coconut oil (if you don't it will likely stick).
- Place the sugar and golden syrup on low heat into a saucepan and stir until the sugar has dissolved, approximately 2 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium high and stir while it bubbles for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, add the baking soda and stir swiftly as the mixture bubbles up. Pour quickly into your prepared tin and set aside to set.
- To serve, leave at room temparture, place a plate over the top of the dishes and upend to gently remove from your mould.
- Break a tablespoon amount of hokey pokey and crumble it between your fingers and sprinkle over the top, allowing to sit for a few minutes to melt the hokey pokey a tiny little amount whick makes it a little bit of a honeycomb sauce.
- Serve.
