Step-by-Step Instructions for Panna Cotta

  • Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
  • Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a bowl. Reserve the empty pod.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, scraped vanilla seeds, and the empty pod. Heat over medium until just about to simmer.
  • Remove from heat, discard the vanilla pod, and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a jug.
  • Lightly oil ramekins and pour in the strained mixture, then let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
  • Dip molds briefly in warm water to loosen, invert onto plates, and garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves.

Notes

Ensure to bloom the gelatin properly and strain thoroughly for a silky texture. Allow enough chilling time for the best results.
