Indulge in the Luxurious Lavender Pistachio Panna Cotta

Introducing: Lavender Pistachio Panna Cotta

Today, I’m excited to share with you a dessert that perfectly captures the essence of summer: Lavender Pistachio Panna Cotta. This delicate and creamy Italian dessert is infused with floral lavender notes and topped with crunchy pistachios for a luxurious texture and flavor combination. It’s the perfect treat to indulge in on a warm evening or to impress guests at your next dinner party.

Ingredients:

• 500ml heavy cream
• 250ml milk
• 100g sugar
• 3 gelatin sheets
• 2 tbsp dried lavender
• 50g chopped pistachios

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• whisk
• ramekins
• fine mesh strainer

To start, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and dried lavender in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes to infuse the lavender flavor.

In a separate bowl, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until they become soft. Squeeze out any excess water from the gelatin sheets and add them to the warm cream mixture. Whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the lavender buds, then divide the panna cotta mixture into ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Before serving, top each panna cotta with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for that extra crunch and nutty flavor contrast. Enjoy the creamy texture and floral aroma of this unique dessert!

One clever tip for this recipe is to lightly toast the pistachios before sprinkling them on top of the panna cotta. This will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the dish.
