Coffee Panna Cotta

1. 1

   Combine the cream, sugar and coffee in a small saucepan. Sprinkle the powdered gelatin on top and allow to sit for at least 3 minutes to soften ( if it doesn't become moist, stir into the mixture and then allow to sit).

2. 2

   Once the gelatin has softened, stir well to combine all the ingredients.

3. 3

   Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until bubbles form around the edges.

4. 4

   Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or a strainer lined with cheesecloth.

5. 5

   Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

6. 6

   Divide the panna cotta mixture among 6 small custard cups.

7. 7

   Cover tightly with plastic wrap ( making sure that the wrap does not touch the panna cotta's surface) and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.

8. 8

   Serve cold, garnished with chocolate coffee beans or regular coffee beans.
