In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of half and half and heat on medium until warm, just until the sugar dissolves without steaming.

Add ¼ cup of sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the half and half while heating.

Take the saucepan off the heat and add about 1 cup of the warm milk to the gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Pour the remaining milk into the gelatin mixture and stir gently.

Prepare 4 gold rimmed champagne coupe glasses for serving.

Pour the panna cotta mixture into the prepared glasses and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of quartered strawberries, ¼ cup of champagne, and ¼ cup of sugar.

Stir the strawberry mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the strawberry compote cool.

Once the panna cotta has set, top each glass with a spoonful of the strawberries and champagne compote.
