Instructions

In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin into the milk, str it around, and set aside.
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, heat up the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract. Once it’s steaming (but not boiling), add the gelatin/milk mixture in.
Whisk everything together until gelatin is dissolved, and not grainy anymore. Remove from heat.
