Vanilla Panna Cotta with Strawberries

First, make the panna cotta: In a small saucepan add the milk. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Turn the heat to medium and cook while stirring until the gelatin dissolves. Do not let the milk boil. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Add the heavy cream and sugar to the milk and continue cooking while stirring for another 3-5 minutes.

Once the sugar is dissolved, turn off the heat. Stir in the vanilla. Divide the mixture between two serving dishes. I prefer small wine glasses. Chill the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight.

An hour before serving, make the strawberry topping by combining them with the sugar in a small bowl. Let sit at room temperature. To serve, scoop the berries on top of the panna cottta and serve immediately.
