Preparation

This dessert was inspired by saffron's magical ability to add luxury to anything. The honey provides floral sweetness while the saffron infuses each spoonful with exotic fragrance.

Preparation

1. Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. Meanwhile, combine the heavy cream, honey, and saffron threads in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it just begins to steam (do not boil).
3. Remove from heat and let the saffron steep for 5 minutes—you'll see the cream turn a gorgeous golden color.
4. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and whisk until completely dissolved and smooth.
5. Divide the mixture among 4 small ramekins or serving glasses, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
6. Serve chilled, directly in the glasses, or run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates for a classic presentation.

Serving suggestion: A drizzle of extra honey and a few saffron threads on top make these look bakery-perfect.
