Panna cotta

Here's an easy dessert, the only drawback being you have to do it a few hours ahead. I made some one night, and had one for breakfast the next day. Put some milk over medium heat, add sugar and some vanilla, stir every now and then so that it doesn't stick, until it is close to a boil but not boiling. In the mean time, dissolve some gelatin in cold milk. When the milk is almost boiling, take it off the heat, add the dissolved gelatin. Pour the liquid in the ramekins and put in the fridge overnight. I made some caramel syrup and poured on top in the morning, it would have been better with marmelade or fruit syrup, but I didn't have any. A light, refreshing dessert.

UPDATE: I just thought you might want to know that gelatin is not vegetarian food, it's a meat product.
