Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups heavy cream

- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
Special equipment needed:
- 6 ramekins or glasses

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, clotted cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
3. Once the cream mixture comes to a simmer, remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any clumps or lumps.
5. Divide the mixture evenly among the 6 ramekins or glasses. Let cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
6. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the ramekins or glasses to loosen the panna cotta. Invert onto a plate and serve chilled.
