Fresh fruit provides natural sweetness and flavor.

In a bowl, add 3 tablespoons of cool water and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of beef gelatin on top. Set aside to bloom.

In a medium saucepan, add 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream and heat on medium-low.

Add 1/4 cup of sweetener to the cream and whisk until combined, ensuring the cream is warm but not boiling.

Once warm, add the bloomed gelatin to the cream and whisk until fully dissolved.

Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of whole milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Pour the mixture through a strainer to catch any potential chunks.

Divide the mixture into six chilled ramekins, leaving three plain and adding flavors to the other three: half a teaspoon of instant coffee to one, matcha powder to another, and blueberry powder to the last.

Whisk the flavored mixtures to combine, acknowledging that some chunks may remain.

Refrigerate the ramekins for about 4 hours or overnight to set.

To release the panna cotta from the ramekins, dip them in warm to hot water for a few seconds.

Invert a plate over the ramekin and flip to release the panna cotta.

Taste the panna cotta and describe the texture and flavor, noting it reminds of soft mozzarella and tapioca pudding.

Experiment with toppings: zest fresh lime on one, and grate Lily's dark chocolate and sprinkle hazelnuts on another.

Discuss the flavors and suggest ways to improve the recipe for future batches.
