Pistachio & Fig Panna Cotta

Pistachio Butter:
Make this butter the day before you make the Panna cotta to save on time. Just store in the fridge in an airtight glass container.

2 cups raw, shelled pistachios.

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon.

pinch sea salt.

1 tsp. melted coconut oil (optional)

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the pistachios on top, in a single layer.

 

Toast in the oven for around 6-8 minutes or until you can smell them, but keep an eye on them so that they don’t burn.

 

Remove the warm pistachios from the oven and place into a food processor.

 

Process the pistachios for about 10 minutes then add in the cinnamon and sea salt. 
Continue to process until you have reached a creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides of the blender as you go along, patience.
Add in the melted coconut oil while food processor is running if the nuts get stuck.

 3 gelatin sheets

2 cups canned coconut milk.

1/2 cup pistachio butter

While the milk is heating up in the saucepan.
