Vanilla Panna Cotta with Mixed Berries

Ingredients

2 1/2 sheets leaf gelatine or 15g of powder gelatine
600ml thin cream
100ml water
110g caster sugar
1 vanilla bean, spilt
350g mixed frozen berries

Place gelatine sheets in a bowl of cold water and set aside for 5 minutes to soak. For the gelatine powder follow the instructions on the gelatine packet.

Place cream in a pan with 50g sugar over low heat for 5minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the vanilla bean seeds to the pan. Squeeze gelatine and add to the cream. Or if using the powder add the gelatine liquid to the cream. Continue stirring over a low heat until gelatine has dissolved.
Pour into moulds and refrigerate for 4 hours to set.

Meanwhile place the berries in a pan with the remaining sugar and water. Stir over a low heat for 5 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Serve Panna cotta in the moulds or unmould them and pour the mixed berries over the top.
