Method
Preparation of Panna Cotta
Prepare the Gelatin
In a small bowl, combine the cold water and unflavored gelatin. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.
Heat the Cream Mixture
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Add Vanilla and Gelatin
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the gelatin mixture to the hot cream mixture and whisk until fully dissolved.
Pour into Molds
Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or molds. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
Chill the Panna Cotta
Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serving
Prepare the Topping
If desired, top the panna cotta with fresh berries and garnish with mint leaves before serving.
Serve
Gently run a knife around the edges of the panna cotta to help release it from the mold. Invert onto a plate and serve with the berry topping.
