Ingredients
  

  • 1 envelope Unflavored Gelatin
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 1 cup Half and half
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • tsp Vanilla extract or flavoring of your choice
  • 2-3 pieces Lemon peel, without white pith

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your ramekins if you plan to unmold your Panna Cotta by wiping the inside with a neutral oil like grapeseed or canola oil.
  • Place the water in a small bowl and sprinkle over the gelatin, set aside for about  2 or 3 minutes  to soften.
  • In a small saucepan, add the heavy cream, half and half, lemon zest and sugar, bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn the heat off and add the gelatin mixture, whisk for a couple minutes or until the gelatin dissolves.
  • Strain this mixture to catch lemon peel and any undissolved gelatin and add the vanilla extract to the strained mixture.
  • Divide the mixture between three large ramekins or four small ones. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
