Step 1
Pour cold water into a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over it, and let sit 2 minutes until it blooms and looks spongy.
Step 2
Heat cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan over medium until steam rises and sugar dissolves, ~3 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 3
Pour the warm cream mixture over the bloomed gelatin and stir until gelatin dissolves completely, ~1 minute.
Step 4
Stir in vanilla extract, then pour into four serving glasses or bowls, dividing evenly.
Step 5
Chill uncovered for at least 4 hours or until set to a silky custard with a gentle jiggle.
Step 6
Serve cold. Top with fresh berries, biscotti crumbs, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
