- 2 tbsp Highground instant coffee
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Prepare the Ramekins:
- Spray 4 individual ramekins with non-stick spray and set them aside.
2. Bloom the Gelatin:

3. Heat the Cream Mixture:
- In a medium stockpot, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and instant coffee.
- Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly to dissolve the sugar and coffee grounds. Heat until bubbles form around the edges of the pot, but do not let it boil.

- Whisk in the bloomed gelatin until it is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
5. Flavor the Panna Cotta:
- Stir in a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
6. Chill the Panna Cotta:
- Pour the coffee mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the panna cotta is fully set.
7. Serve the Panna Cotta:
- When ready to serve, dip each ramekin into hot water for about 5 seconds to loosen the panna cotta.
- Invert the ramekin onto a small plate, letting the panna cotta gently release.
