Ingredients
- 1 unwaxed lime
- 40 g unsalted butter
- 100 ml full-fat whipping cream
- 220 g white baking chocolate
- 80 g unsalted shelled pistachios
- 50 g ground almonds
Preparation
Take out the butter to soften. Wash the lime and finely grate the zest without white pith. Reserve the flesh for another use. Chop the white chocolate into a bowl. Gently heat the cream with the zest, then pour over the chocolate and stir until melted. Mix in ground almonds, then soft butter, to a smooth ganache.

Grind the pistachios in a small food processor and tip onto a plate. Scoop small bites of ganache with a spoon and quickly roll between your hands. Coat immediately in pistachio. Arrange on a dish and keep chilled until serving.
