Irish Moss, Whiskey, & Honey Panna Cotta

Irish moss is found along the Atlantic coasts of North America and Europe, but it gets its name because, during the potato famine in Ireland, it was a critical source of food for many.  Now, it’s enjoyed in beverages in the Caribbean and is used as a thickener in many desserts, which is how it’s used here.  It’s extremely nutritious and contains nearly 100 essential minerals.  So clearly we had to even out all that healthiness with some heavy cream and whiskey!
