Observations

How long can I keep the vanilla panna cotta?
You can keep this dessert in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover the glasses with plastic wrap or place them in a container with a lid.

Can I use a vanilla bean to flavour panna cotta?
Sure. Just cut the vanilla bean in the centre and collect all the seeds with the tip of a knife. Then you will have to mix them in the pan as explained in step 2 of the recipe.

What shapes can I give vanilla panna cotta?
Let’s get creative! We used simple glasses but you can choose the shape you prefer. You can use heart-shaped, flower-shaped, star-shaped moulds (for example)

How to easily unmould a vanilla panna cotta?
If you use a mould and want to serve your panna cotta, we advise you an infallible trick not to spoil the dessert: once the panna cotta has finished resting in the refrigerator, take the mould and immerse it in boiling water (only the part of the container must be wet: not a drop in the panna cotta!). The heat on the walls will allow the cream to come off easily,

How can I decorate vanilla panna cotta?
You can eat this dessert like this or add delicious toppings (but also fresh fruit). On our website you will find different versions: we advise you to taste the panna cotta fig sauce, the panna cotta pistachio, the panna cotta with red berry coulis and the panna cotta raspberry.

Your recipe says 0.2 Oz Gelatin.
But then later you say Gelatin Leaves!
Is a bit late, as I have now only bought Gelatin, and not gelatin leaves.
If you bothered to list a proper measurement and Gelatin leaves, instead of just Gelatin, it would make it much easier!
