Step 1
Heat cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan over medium until steam rises, about 3 minutes. Don't boil.
Step 2
Remove from heat. Sprinkle gelatin over the surface, let sit 30 seconds to bloom, then whisk until completely dissolved.
Step 3
Stir in vanilla extract. Pour into serving glasses or small bowls, dividing evenly.
Step 4
Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes while you make the sauce. Panna cotta will firm up but won't be fully set.
Step 5
Heat berries and honey in a small saucepan over medium until berries break down and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Spoon warm berry sauce over each panna cotta and serve immediately. Sauce will pool around the edges.
