200 gms double cream (for whip) 

50 gms double cream (ganache)

40 gms mascarpone (for whip)

1 pinch (0.3 gms) saffron

50 gms pistachios

You will also need:  

1 bowl 

1 small container 

1 peeler

Method

1. Combine double cream with saffron. Microwave the mix for 30 seconds to allow the saffron to infuse.

2. Blend in the chocolate to the mix until it melts. Keep aside.

3. To a bowl, add double cream with mascarpone and whip until creamy in consistency. Keep it to chill in a freezer for 10 minutes.

4. Using a spoon, take one-fourth the amount of whipped cream and mix it with the melted chocolate. Continue repeating the process till you get a clean mix, free of lumps. Let it rest for an hour.
