Instructions

Place the gelatin in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon cold water and let it bloom for a few minutes.
In a saucepan, gently heat the milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into serving glasses, optionally tilting them for a slanted presentation.
Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the panna cotta is fully set.
Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry coulis by combining strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla in a saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and allow the coulis to cool to room temperature.
Spoon the cooled strawberry coulis over the set panna cotta just before serving.

Notes

Panna cotta should be softly set and slightly jiggly.

The coulis can be strained for a smoother texture if desired.

The dessert can be made a day ahead and topped before serving.

Avoid overheating gelatin to keep the texture smooth.
