She was kind of enough to share the Panna Cotta (Italian Pudding) recipe with us!   

Panna cotta – Italian pudding  

Ingredients

• Whole Milk – 1 cup   
• Whipping/heavy cream – 2 cups   
• Granulate white sugar – ½ cup (adjust sweetness to your liking)   
• Gelatin (powder or sheets) – 1 small packet or 2 sheets   
• Vanilla extract – ½ tbsp   
• Water – 2 tbsp   

Directions

• In a pot, mix milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring to simmer and stir occasionally.   
• Avoid bringing milk mixture to a boil to avoid scalding and imparting a burnt flavor to the dessert.   
• In a small bowl, mix gelatin and water to bloom  
• Allow gelatin to harden, then add to heated milk mixture and stir until melted.   
• Pour into serving containers and refrigerate until the mixture has set. Serve cold.  
• Can add cinnamon or chocolate to the top
