- Bloom the gelatin
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until fully absorbed and spongy. - Heat the cream mixture
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil. - Add vanilla and gelatin
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, then add the bloomed gelatin. Mix until the gelatin is completely dissolved. - Pour and chill
Divide the mixture evenly between small glasses or ramekins. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. - Serve
Top with fresh fruit, berry sauce, or a drizzle of honey just before serving.
📝 Notes & Tips
- For a firmer texture, add an extra ¼ tsp gelatin.
- To unmold panna cotta, briefly dip the ramekin in warm water and gently invert onto a plate.
- Vanilla bean paste gives a richer flavor and visible specks.
