Ginger & Honey Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Broiled Grapefruit

 
Panna cotta might be the perfect dessert; it's a great use of gelatin & buttermilk, it can be made ahead, it can be dressed up or down, and it's quick, easy, and nutrient dense. We added ginger and honey to this panna cotta and served it with grapefruit for a light and tart dessert.
