Instructions

Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Prepare the Panna Cotta Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, cream, sugar, and instant coffee. Stir until the sugar and coffee dissolve and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until fully dissolved.
Chill and Serve: Pour the mixture into ramekins or serving glasses. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Before serving, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa if desired.

Notes

For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the instant coffee slightly or use brewed espresso in place of part of the milk.
To unmold, dip ramekins briefly in hot water and invert onto a plate.
