- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the cream, milk, caster sugar and vanilla bean paste and gently bring to the boil over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Take the gelatine sheets and squeeze out any water. Add the gelatine to the heated cream and stir until it has completely dissolved.

Notes
- When making the compote you can add other flavours and fruits - why not add some fresh strawberries, or a piece of ginger and maybe some orange peel.
- If you are using powdered gelatine for the panna cotta, when the cream is heated take 100ml of the mixture in a separate bowl and dissolve the powdered gelatine in it; then add back to the rest of the mixture and stir in. Strain through a sieve as normal.
