Panna Cotta
2 Tbsp Water
2 tsp Powdered Gelatin
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
7 Tbsp Sugar
2 cup Buttermilk
3/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

Mix water & gelatin in small cup. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes.

Heat heavy cream & sugar in small pan over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat & add gelatin mixture. Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved & mixture is smooth. Cool to room temperature, 45 minutes.

Stir buttermilk & vanilla into cream mix. Pour mixture through fine strainer into 4 cup measuring cup. Divide mix between six ramekins & refrigerate until set for 12 hours.

Run thin sharp knife around sides of each panna cotta to loosen. One at a time, place bottom of each custard cup in 1 inch of hot water for 40 seconds, immediately invert custard cups onto plate. Top with macerated berries & cookie
