Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla bean
• 1 packet (about 1 tsp) unflavored gelatin
• 3 tbsp cold water
• Fresh berries or berry coulis, for topping

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

2. Heat the Cream: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

3. Add the Gelatin: Remove the cream mixture from heat and add the bloomed gelatin, stirring until completely dissolved.

4. Pour and Chill: Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

5. Serve: To serve, top with fresh berries, a berry coulis, or caramel sauce. Optionally, you can unmold the panna cotta by dipping the ramekins in warm water for a few seconds and inverting onto a plate.
