Buttermilk Panna Cotta Base 
3 ⅓ cups heavy cream 
1 ½ cups granulated sugar 
1 vanilla bean (1 tsp. vanilla extract) 
3 ¾ cups buttermilk 
10 silver gelatin sheets (or 2 ½ tsp. powdered gelatin, bloomed in ¼ cup cold water) 

Gingerbread Crumble 
1 ¾ cups butter (3 ½ sticks) 
6 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 
2 cups rolled oats 
2 cups granulated sugar 
1 tsp. salt 
5 tbsp. gingerbread spice 

Panna Cotta
Soak gelatin sheets in ice water until softened. (If using powdered gelatin, sprinkle over ¼ cup cold water and let bloom.) 
In a medium saucepan, bring heavy cream, sugar, and scraped vanilla bean (or extract) to a boil. 
Remove from heat, add bloomed gelatin, and stir until fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or chinois into a clean bowl. 
Place the bowl over an ice bath, stirring frequently, until the mixture cools to 77°F. 
Stir in the buttermilk until fully combined. 
Divide mixture into small dessert ramekins, about ⅓ cup per portion. Chill in the fridge until set, about 4-6 hours. 

Gingerbread Crumble 
Using your hands or a pastry cutter, mix butter and flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. 
Add oats, sugar, salt, and gingerbread spice. Mix to a sandy texture. 
Spread mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. 
Let the crumble cool completely until ready to use. 

Assembly
Top the chilled panna cotta with the gingerbread crumble.
Drizzle honey over top before serving.
Enjoy!
