Panna Cotta

  • Prepare the Gelatin:In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom and soften.

  • Add Gelatin and Vanilla:Stir the softened gelatin into the warm cream mixture until fully dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and whisk gently to combine.
  • Strain and Pour:Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl to remove any undissolved particles. Pour the strained mixture evenly into two ramekins or dessert cups.
  • Chill:Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
