Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Fresh Pistachios
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate
Instructions
- Start by finely grinding the fresh pistachios in a food processor until they reach a fine powder.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Stir in the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, whisking until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Once the cream has slightly cooled, gently stir in the ground pistachios until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then, gently heat until fully dissolved.
- Combine the bloomed gelatin with the pistachio cream mixture, stirring well.
- Divide the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- When ready to serve, drizzle your luscious dark chocolate ganache over the chilled mousse.
Notes
- Consider using unsalted almond meal for a different nutty twist.
- Swap in coconut cream for a vegan alternative.
- Agave syrup or maple syrup works for a refined sugar substitute.
- Opt for sea salt for a more complex taste.
- For a vegan version, use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
- Vegan chocolate can replace dark chocolate for a dairy-free option.
