Instructions

Put ½ cup of milk (25% milk volume) in a small bowl and pour the gelatin over it to let it soften.
In a medium sized pot, heat the cream and the rest of milk (75% volume) with the sugar until the mix starts to boil.
Remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
Gently stir in the softened gelatin mix and stir well.
To make the panna cotta extra smooth you can pour the cream mix through a mesh strainer, this well help remove any clumps.
Pour the panna cotta mix into serving glasses or molds according to your preference.
Let the mix cool down and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving, overnight is ideal.
Serve directly in the glasses or remove from molds. Garnish with your choice of fresh fruit, fruit sauce, dulce de leche or caramel, chocolate or just serve alone.
