Ingredients 1 envelope (¼ ounce) unflavored gelatin 3 cups half-and-half ½ cup sugar Salt 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Maple syrup, for serving Directions Place 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Set aside to soften, 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Add vanilla and softened gelatin mixture; stir until dissolved. Divide mixture among six 6-ounce ramekins. Chill, covered with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 3 days. To serve, run a small knife around the edge of each panna cotta to loosen, then carefully dip bottom of ramekin in hot water for a few seconds. Invert ramekin onto a small plate; holding both tightly, shake firmly to release panna cotta onto plate. Drizzle each panna cotta with maple syrup, if desired. Rate it Print
