Pour water into small bowl.

Sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand 10 minutes to soften.

Pour milk into medium saucepan. Scrape seed from vanilla bean into milk; add bean.

Bring to simmer. Whisk yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in medium bowl until thick.

Using electric mixer, beat cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl to stiff peaks.
