2 cups Heavy Cream
2/3 cups Sugar
1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 cup Buttermilk
1 package (1/4 Oz. Size) Plain Powdered Gelatin
1/4 teaspoons Finely Grated Orange Zest
4 ounces, weight Creamy, Fresh Goat Cheese

1/2 cups Pistachios
2 teaspoons Unsalted Butter, melted
1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt, Or To Taste
FOR SERVING:
6 whole Fresh Figs, Quartered
4 Tablespoons Orange Blossom Honey

1
Add cream, sugar and salt to a pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2
Place buttermilk in a cup. Sprinkle gelatin over top. Allow to bloom for 5-10 minutes while cream comes to a simmer.
3
When cream comes to a simmer, lower heat and whisk in buttermilk/gelatin mixture. Stir in orange zest. Whisk until gelatin is dissolved.
4
Place softened goat cheese in a bowl. Whisk cream mixture into goat cheese, one ladleful at a time, until completely combined.
5
Strain panna cotta base through a sieve into a large liquid measuring cup. Pour mixture into desired glasses or ramekins. This is enough for 6 to 8 servings. Cool at room temperature. Place in fridge to cool and set up completely for several hours or ideally overnight.
6
While panna cotta sets up, toast the pistachios. Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Place nuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle over melted butter and season liberally with salt. Toss. Bake about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool at room temperature and store in an airtight container.

To serve, top panna cottas with figs and nuts, and drizzle over honey. Enjoy.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
