Sprinkle 2 1/2 tsp unflavored powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup cold whole milk and leave five minutes to bloom. Set six small heat-safe cups on a tray.
Warm 1 1/2 cups cream, 3/4 cup additional milk and 1/3 cup sugar until steaming and sugar dissolves; do not boil. Remove from heat, whisk in bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then add 1 1/2 tsp vanilla.
Divide among six cups, let steam subside and chill covered at least four hours until softly set. Simmer 1 1/2 cups cranberries with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water about ten minutes until thick; cool completely.
Spoon cold compote over set panna cotta just before serving. Test gelatin bloom, six-cup fill, set strength and compote sweetness.
