Vanilla Panna Cottas Recipes

Steps:

• Add the sheets of gelatine to a bowl of cold water and soak for 5 mins.
• Pour the milk and cream into a saucepan with the sugar and vanilla seeds (to scrape the seeds out of the pod, use the back of a knife). Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Take the gelatine out of the cold water and squeeze out the excess, then add to the milk mixture. Stir until completely dissolved. Tip into four ramekins and place in the fridge to set for at least a couple of hours.

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatin over the water. The gelatin will absorb the water and dissolve, in a process called "blooming."
• In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream with sugar and cook over medium until it's at the scalding point, or just under a boil.
• Once the cream has almost reached the boiling point, remove from heat and add vanilla extract and bloomed gelatin. Stir until fully dissolved.
