In a heavy saucepan take the milk and warm it
Take care it should not boil
Dissolve the gelatin in it
Stir the sugar into the milk and continue warming until it dissolves as well
It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes total to dissolve both the gelatin and sugar
Again, never let the mixture boil
When completely dissolved,take it from the stove
Now take a drop on your finger and check whether there is any distinct grains of gelatin or sugar
If yes, than again put back on stove at low heat and dissolve completely
When done remove from stove and whisk the cream and splited vanilla pod
Let it stand for 5 minute
In the mean time Spray the ramekins with cooking spray, then use a paper towel to wipe out most of the oil
Pour the liquid in the prepared ramekins and set it in refrigerator for at least 4 hour
If keeping longer than cover each mold lightly with cling wrap
Once chilled ,unmould it on your serving plate
Dip the bottom part of ramekin for 2 sec in a bowl of hot tap water, and then carefully invert onto a serving plate
Serve with fresh fruit compote of your choice or simple enjoy as it is
