Vanilla Panna Cotta Recipe

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.

Remove the cream mixture from the heat and stir in the softened gelatin until completely dissolved.

Divide the mixture equally among 4 glasses or ramekins. Let it cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Serve chilled, garnished with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
