Pour milk and heavy cream into a sauce pan. Sprinkle with gelatin and then set aside for ten minutes.
Prepare an ice bath to set the gelatin in after you heat it. To make the bath, just add ice and a little cold water in a bowl.
Heat the milk to 135 degrees. Medium heat for about 7 minutes. I brought mine to a boil for a minute too.
Remove from heat and then add sugar, salt and vanilla.
Place the sauce pan in the ice bath and whisk frequently. It will get a little thicker, but I found that it was still pretty liquidly when I poured it into my ramekins.
Place 6 ramekins on a baking sheet and pour the cream into them.
Refrigerate about 4 hours until it's a custard consistency and then garnish how you want!!
