1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over the
water and let stand for 1 minute. Turn heat to low and stir until
gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat.
2. In a
large saucepan, combine the cream and rosemary. Simmer over low heat
for 5 minutes. Strain rosemary and discard. Stir in milk and sugar and
bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
3.
Remove pan from heat and stir in gelatin and vanilla. Place in four
serving dishes (I recommend smaller mason jars) and chill for at least
four hours.
4. While the panna cotta
chills, prepare the lemon curd – beat the butter and sugar in an
electric mixer until smooth (about 2 minutes). Add the eggs and yolks
and beat for 1 minute. Add lemon juice and beat for 30 seconds longer.
Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan and cook over low heat until
smooth. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until
thickened (about 5 minutes). Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly with
plastic wrap and chill in the fridge.
5. When ready to serve, top each panna cotta with lemon curd and serve immediately (or keep cold until ready to serve).
