Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Soak 2 sheets gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes to soften.

Stage 2 - 7 min.

Pour 1 cup liquid cream into a saucepan on medium heat and bring to the boil.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Add ¼ cup pistachio powder or paste and whisk until thoroughly mixed.

Stage 4 - 30 min.

Next add the softened gelatin (after draining well).

Mix until fully melted, then leave the mixture at room temperature to cool for about 30 minutes.

Stage 5 - 2 hours

Lay a tea towel on a baking sheet and stand the small glasses on this (to stop them sliding about).

Divide the mixture between the glasses, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Meanwhile, put ¹⁄₃ cup pistachios in a small frying pan on high heat and toast for about 5 minutes (they should only colour slightly).

Stage 7 - 4 min.

Add 3 tablespoons caster sugar to the pan and caramelise the pistachios.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

When they are well caramelised, tip the nuts out onto the worktop (or onto a sheet of cooking parchment if you prefer) to cool.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

When cold, chop coarsely with a knife.

Stage 10 - 6 min.

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

Stage 11 - 5 min.

Finish with a few chopped caramelised pistachios and serve.

Remarks

Get pistachios without skin if possible; they look so much nicer when caramelised.

Keeping: Overnight in the fridge.

Source: Home made.

Crème brulée

Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...

How to use gelatin

Gelatin is a gelling agent use in some desserts where a rather firm texture is required when cold. It can also be used to stabilize a dessert (mousses especially) that you need to keep longer than usual.

Thank you, appreciate!

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 love your site. Great recipes and tips.

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.
