Recipe
Serves 8 · Total 15m
Ingredients
Pistachio Layer
100g pistachio spread
10g tahini
20g pistachio chocolate, broken into shards
Pinch of salt
Pot au Crème
250g pure cream
100g pistachio chocolate, roughly chopped
To serve
A little whipped cream
Chopped pistachios
6-8 small serving glasses or ramekins
Method
For the pistachio layer, stir together the pistachio spread and tahini, then finish with a pinch of salt. Fold through the chocolate shards and spoon into the base of your serving glasses.
For the Pot au Crème, bring the cream to just below boiling. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and whisk until silky-smooth. Pouring while still warm makes for the glossiest finish. Gently pour over the pistachio base, keeping the layers distinct. Chill for 3–4 hours, or until set.
To serve, ideally let the dessert come to room temperature, then top with a touch of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
