Steps to follow:

• Pour 1/3 cup almond milk into a small bowl and stir in gelatin; set aside.
• In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together heavy cream, remaining almond milk, and sugar. Bring to boil over medium heat, watching carefully as the cream will quickly rise to the top of the pan.
• Pour gelatin and almond milk into the cream mixture and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add half a teaspoon of almond extract and vanilla extract and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour into 6 (4-ounce) individual ramekins (Panna cotta silicon bowls)
• Leave ramekins uncovered at room temperature to cool. When cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (can be left overnight.)
• To remove, run a knife around the sides of each ramekin and invert over a serving plate.
