Preparation Steps
1
Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water until softened.
2
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream with the sugar and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean. Bring to a simmer over low heat to allow the flavors to infuse.

Add the lime juice and lime zest to give the mixture a refreshing citrus flavor.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Squeeze the excess water from the softened gelatin, then stir it into the warm cream mixture until completely dissolved.

Pour the mixture into clear glasses or ramekins and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
6
Before serving, garnish the panna cotta with fresh lime wedges and mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
