Preparation
- Step 1
Combine the cream and sugar in a large saucepan, set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Whisk in the vanilla pod and seeds, breaking up the seed clumps. Lower the heat and gently simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Pour the gelatin into a small saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons cold water and let sit for a few minutes. Put the saucepan over the lowest heat possible and warm it until the gelatin has dissolved, making sure it doesn't boil. Transfer the gelatin mixture to the vanilla-infused cream and whisk to combine. Remove the vanilla pod.
- Step 3
Set out 8 (½-cup) glasses. Place 2 tablespoons of dulce de leche in each. (Avoid using a wet spoon: water will discolor the dulce de leche.)
- Step 4
Divide the warm cream mixture between the glasses. Let cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. If left for more than a day, the water in the panna cotta will discolor the dulce de leche, so do not prepare too far in advance.
- Dulce de leche is available at many specialty grocery stores. Goat's-milk dulce de leche is available at www.latienda.com.

This worked out well. I didn't make it in glasses but in ramekins. It is extremely rich and some of us couldn't finish it in one sitting. I would suggest making it in even smaller size glasses or dishes. Perhaps 1/3 cup would be a suitable size, if one happened to have some little dishes of about that size. Maybe even in a shot glass! (which would reduce the high calorie count.)
Delicious recipe and perfect “wobble”! NOTE: this is a panna cotta intended to serve in the vessel-the dulce de leche is too sticky to flip and serve. Easily can cut this recipe in half and have 6 servings. As noted in another comment, this is very rich, but full fat heavy cream is the way to go with panna cotta so that you do not need as much gelatin. The goal is not a hard jello consistency and this recipe was set just right!
