Bloom the Gelatin

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

Evenly pour the mixture into individual serving cups or molds. Allow them to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
