Panna Cotta (Coffee/Vanilla Flavoured)

1. 1

   First, soak the gelatine leaves in a small bowl filled with cold water and set aside.

2. 2

   Next, pour the cream into a small pan and turn the heat on (gentle heat) add the vanilla powder/extract.

3. 3

   Add the sugar, coffee and rum.

4. 4

   Stir gently for a few minutes until the cream gets close to the simmer point (avoid boiling the cream).

5. 5

   If you have a thermometer, check that the cream reaches 90 degrees C and, at that point, remove the pan from the heat.

6. 6

   Now, squeeze the gelatine leaves and add then to the pan.

7. 7

   Stir for a couple of minutes or until the gelatine is completely dissolved and strain the cream into a jug.

8. 8

   Now, pour the cream into the glasses (or fill 4 glasses half way) and put the glasses in the fridge for about 4-6 hours so that the panna cotta has time to set.

9. 9

   Finally, when you want to eat your panna cotta, I suggest you dust it with some cocoa powder and that's it.

    Enjoy it!

    *Note: the sachet I used contained about 1/2 g of vanilla extract in powder, however you can use vanilla extract in liquid form (just a few drops) or infuse a small vanilla pod.
