Observations

How long can I keep 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 fresh vanilla to flavor panna cotta?
Of course. Just split the vanilla bean down the middle and scrape out all the seeds with a knife. Then mix them into the saucepan as explained in step 2 of the recipe.

What shapes can I make vanilla panna cotta in?
Get creative! We used simple glasses, but you can choose whichever shape you like. You can use heart-, flower-, or star-shaped molds, for example.

How can I easily remove vanilla panna cotta from a mold?
If you use a mold and want to plate your panna cotta, we recommend a foolproof trick to keep the dessert from getting damaged. Once the panna cotta has finished chilling in the refrigerator, take the mold and dip it in boiling water (only the outside of the mold should get wet). The heat on the sides will allow the panna cotta to come away easily.

How can I decorate vanilla panna cotta?
You can enjoy this dessert plain or decorate it with delicious toppings (or fresh fruit). On our website, you’ll find several variations: we recommend trying panna cotta with fig sauce, pistachio panna cotta, panna cotta with red berry coulis, and raspberry panna cotta.

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!
