Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon dried edible rose petals (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, heat cream, milk, sugar, and cardamom over medium heat until just simmering. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Add vanilla and the bloomed gelatin, stirring until fully dissolved.
