When you are ready to serve, take the panna cotta out of the fridge and add a little custard to each glass.

Get pistachios without skin if possible; they look so much nicer when caramelised.
Keeping: Overnight in the fridge.

Strange problem with the notation, this is suppose to happen only when you rate the same recipe twice in less than 5 minutes... Anyway, don't worry, if you have time try again in a few minutes.
I tried giving you 5 stars on this recipe but a new page loaded and had a message that "Notation impossible...". I have no idea what that is.
Anyway, thank you for all the hard work you put into this website.
