Ingredients
2 sheets of gelatine
50ml milk

Method
- Soak the gelatine in cold water until soft. Grab a pot with a heavy base and add the cream, milk and sugar.
- Scrape out seeds from vanilla pod and add along with pod to the cream.
- Take the pan off the heat and then take the two leaves of gelatine which have been soaked in cold water, and wring them out before adding to the pan and whisk them in.
- strain the mixture through fine sieve once the gelatine is fully dissolved. Skim any bubbles with a metal spoon. Pour it into moulds.
- Place the moulds in the fridge until the panna cottas set, preferably overnight.
