  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes.

  4. Gently fold in the brewed espresso and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Carefully pour the panna cotta mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
