Place the water in a small bowl and sprinkle over the gelatine. Set aside for 3 minutes until spongy and set.
Place the cream and icing sugar in a saucepan over low heat and stir until sugar has dissolved.
Increase the heat, add the Queen Organic Vanilla Essence and simmer for 4-5 minutes until reduced slightly.
Stir in the set gelatine and continue to cook, stirring, until the gelatine has completely dissolved.
