Today’s Exotic Dessert Creation: Saffron Cardamom Pistachio Panna Cotta

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique and indulgent dessert creation that combines the delicate floral notes of saffron with the warm, aromatic flavors of cardamom and the nutty crunch of pistachios. This creamy panna cotta is a perfect treat for a special occasion or just to indulge in a bit of luxury at home.

Ingredients:

  • 300ml heavy cream
  • 200ml whole milk
  • 100g sugar
  • 1/2 tsp saffron threads
  • 4-5 cardamom pods, crushed
  • 2 1/2 tsp gelatin
  • 50g pistachios, chopped

Kitchen Tools:

  • saucepan
  • whisk
  • ramekins
  • mixing bowl

To prepare this exotic dessert, start by warming the heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in the sugar, saffron threads, and crushed cardamom pods, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar and infuse the flavors.

In a separate bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over a couple of tablespoons of cold water to bloom. Once the gelatin has softened, add it to the warm cream mixture, stirring until fully dissolved.

Strain the mixture to remove the cardamom pods and any large saffron threads, then pour the liquid into ramekins. Allow the panna cotta to cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.

Before serving, toast the chopped pistachios in a dry skillet until fragrant and lightly golden. Sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the chilled panna cotta for a delightful crunch and nutty flavor contrast.

This Saffron Cardamom Pistachio Panna Cotta has a total weight of approximately 700g, making 6 servings with an average weight of 116g per serving. Each serving is estimated to have around 250 calories.

One tip to elevate this dessert even further is to garnish each serving with a few strands of saffron for a pop of color and an extra boost of saffron flavor. It’s a simple touch that adds a touch of elegance to the dish.

I hope you give this exotic dessert a try and enjoy the luxurious combination of saffron, cardamom, and pistachio in a creamy panna cotta. Feel free to experiment with different nuts or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
