Instructions
1. Prepare the Gelatin:
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom (the gelatin will absorb the water and become sponge-like).
2. Make the Panna Cotta:
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cream mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream mixture, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
