Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.3333333333333333 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 whole Vanilla bean
• 1 tablespoon Gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Rose water
• 6 petals Edible rose petals (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. This will allow the gelatin to absorb the water and become spongy.

Step 2

Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife. Set the seeds aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla bean seeds, and the vanilla pod itself. Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot, but do not let it boil.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the vanilla pod. Stir in the rose water and bloomed gelatin until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Step 5

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or a bowl with a spout to remove any solids.

Step 6

Evenly divide the mixture into 4 small ramekins or serving glasses. Allow them to cool to room temperature before covering them with plastic wrap.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Panna cotta should jiggle slightly but hold its shape when ready.

Step 8

To serve, run a small knife around the edge of each panna cotta and gently invert it onto a serving plate, or serve directly in the ramekins/glasses. Garnish with edible rose petals for an elegant touch, if desired.
