Hi friends, hope you are all having an amazing day. Todays recipe is perfect for dinner parties, it can easily be made a day ahead so all you have to do is plate up when needed. The flavours are great together and the fragrance of the rose and hibiscus is truly heavenly!
Here is what you will need:
Ingredients:
For the Panna Cotta
600ml double cream
150ml whole milk
100g caster sugar
3 gelatine leaves
2 drops of rosewater
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
For the Hibiscus syrup
100g caster sugar
10 pink hibiscus flowers, washed & stems removed
1 teaspoon liquid glucose
1 cup water
For the Meringue
4 egg whites
Squeeze of lemon juice
140g sugar
1 tablespoon cornflour
75g shelled pistachio nuts, finely chopped
200 mL double cream
For the Cardamom crisps
125g unsalted butter, softened
175g caster sugar
1 egg
50g desiccated coconut
175g self raising flour
zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Icing sugar for dusting
Method
Put the cream, milk, and sugar in a pan and slowly bring to the boil. Simmer for five minutes until reduced by a third. Soak the gelatine in cold water for five minutes until soft. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Take the cream off the heat, then stir in the rosewater, cardamom, and gelatine. Pour the mixture into four 100 millitres dariole moulds, then chill for two hours or over night.
To make the syrup, mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer until syrupy, remove the flowers then leave to cool.
For the meringues, preheat the oven to 110C/230F/Gas mark 1/4. Whisk the egg whites with the lemon juice to soft peaks, then gradually whisk in the caster sugar until glossy. Fold in the cornflour and 50 grams of pistachios, then transfer to a piping bag with a one centimetre round nozzle.Pipe sixteen five centimetre rounds onto a baking sheet lined with silicone paper and place in the oven for one and a half hours.
For the crisps, preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas mark 5. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, beat until smooth, then stir in the remaining ingredients, shape into two centimetre balls and place well apart on a non-stick baking tray. Flatten with a palette knife until thin. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Leave to cool and then dust with icing sugar.
To serve, dollop cream on the bottom of the meringue and join two together. Then coat in cardamom crumbs. Place two crisps, a panna cotta and the meringue on each plate, with the syrup swirled around the edges.
Enjoy!

I love this recipe. Just reading the ingredients makes my tastebuds dance! I have cardamom pods I harvested myself from a regenerative cacao farm I belong to in Ecuador, and the flavors are out of this world! Love how you have paired it here. My respects.
