Panna Cotta - nonstick vegetable cooking spray

Method

• Spray four 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups with vegetable oil spray.
• Pour 1 tablespoon milk into small bowl.
• Sprinkle gelatin over and let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Combine cream, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup milk in heavy medium saucepan.
• Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean.
• Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring often.
• Remove from heat.
• Add gelatin mixture and stir until melted.
• Strain mixture into large glass measuring cup.
• (see note).
• Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
• Pour into ramekins or custard cups, cover and chill overnight.
• Run small sharp knife around sides of cups to loosen custards.
• Invert custards onto plates.
• Serve with sauce.
• Note: Don't skip the "straining" step as it removes any bits of undesolved gelatin and insures a nice smooth dessert.
