Ingredients
- 35 cardamom pods
- 500ml whole milk
- 400ml double cream
- 120g caster sugar
- 4 sheets platinum-grade gelatine
- about 200g fresh summer berries (we used raspberries, strawberries and blueberries)
- 25g pistachio kernels, finely chopped
Step by step
- On a chopping board, crush the cardamom pods with the flat of a chef’s knife so they split open, then add to a saucepan with the milk, cream and sugar. Set over a medium heat until steaming, then cook gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside to infuse for a further 10 minutes. Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in cold water for 5-7 minutes to soften.
- Squeeze any excess water from the gelatine and then add to the hot cream mixture and stir until melted. Strain into a measuring jug (discard the cardamom pods), then pour into six coupe glasses, ramekins or small bowls (200-250ml each). Carefully transfer to the fridge to chill for 3 hours, or until set with a slight wobble.
- To serve, top the panna cotta with the summer berries (halved as necessary) and chopped pistachios.
