Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder over 1/4 cup cold whole milk and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 3/4 cup whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 3 tbsp honey. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then add 1 tsp rosewater, mixing well.
  4. Step 4: Pour the mixture evenly into four 6-ounce ramekins or serving glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until set.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss 1/4 cup chopped pistachios and 1/4 cup sliced almonds with 1 tbsp melted butter. Spread on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
  6. Step 6: To serve, sprinkle the pistachio-almond crumble over each panna cotta and drizzle lightly with additional honey.
