How to Make Buttermilk Panna Cotta

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Heat over medium-low heat until warm and sugar is completely dissolved, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
  3. While the cream heats, sprinkle 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  4. Once the cream is warm, slowly pour it over the bloomed gelatin, whisking constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  5. Gently whisk in 1/2 cup buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among 8 (4-ounce) ramekins.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
