Panna Cotta

I love this light milky pudding its lovely with a fruit compote at this time of the year and is not too heavy.

Ingredients
2 teaspoon of gelatine
425 ml single cream
1/2 a vanilla pod or 1/4 teaspoon good vanilla essence

Method

1. Put 30ml of water in a bowl and sprinkle over the gelatine.


2. Put the cream and sugar into a saucepan, cut the vanilla pod in half scrape out the seeds (or add vanilla essence); add to the saucepan and bring to the boil. Stir in the gelatine mixture and keep stirring until the gelatine has dissolved.


3. Divide the mixture between 4 x 125 ml moulds (ramekins or tea cups can be used or little jelly moulds).


4. Put in the fridge and leave overnight.


5. Then turn out of the mould onto a plate.


6. Serve with fruit or compote of your choice.

Something that is very simple but oh so good.
