Ingredients
375 ml whole milk
125 ml double cream
100 g icing sugar
3½ sheets leaf gelatine
25 ml orange blossom water
4 tablespoons honeycomb, broken into small pieces
40 g pistachios, lightly crushed
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine milk, cream, and icing sugar. Warm gently over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
Soak gelatine sheets in cold water for 5 minutes until softened. Squeeze out excess water.
Whisk softened gelatine into the warm milk mixture until fully dissolved.
Add orange blossom water and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into individual moulds or ramekins. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
To serve, dip moulds briefly in hot water and unmould onto plates. Top with honeycomb and crushed pistachios.
Notes
Do not boil the milk mixture to preserve the delicate flavor of orange blossom water.
Use silicone moulds or greased ramekins for easier unmoulding.
Store honeycomb and pistachios separately and add just before serving.
