Ingredients

  • Vanilla bean
  • Cream
  • Gelatin
  • Raspberries
  • Pistachios

Description

This dessert is a work of art both in taste and presentation. It begins with a delicate vanilla bean panna cotta, so smooth and creamy that it melts in your mouth. The panna cotta is adorned with a vibrant raspberry coulis, adding a burst of fruity sweetness. Around the plate, delicate shards of pistachio brittle are scattered, adding a delightful crunch. To add a touch of elegance, edible gold leaf is delicately placed on top of the panna cotta, shimmering and catching the light. The dessert is finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, creating a beautiful contrast against the deep red of the raspberry coulis. The combination of flavors and the artful presentation make this dessert a truly indulgent treat.

Tips

When it comes to ingredient substitution in this dessert, there are a few options to consider. For a vegan version, you can replace the gelatin in the panna cotta with agar agar, a plant-based alternative. Instead of using pistachio brittle, you can try crushed almonds or toasted coconut flakes for a different texture. If you're looking for a nut-free option, you can omit the brittle altogether or use crushed cookies as a crunchy topping. Lastly, if you don't have edible gold leaf, you can use a sprinkle of edible glitter or colored sugar to add a touch of glamour to the dessert.
