Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter; ½ cup heavy cream; ½ cup whole milk; 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract); 1 gram gelatin powder (about ¼ teaspoon; or 1 gelatin sheet, bloomed); 2 tablespoons water (for blooming gelatin); 2 tablespoons caster sugar; Pinch of fleur de sel; 1 firm pear (Bartlett or Bosc), peeled and left whole; ½ cup sake; ¼ cup water; 2 tablespoons honey; 1 star anise; 1 cinnamon stick; 3 cloves; ½ cup white sesame seeds; 3 tablespoons caster sugar (for brittle); 1 tablespoon butter (for brittle); Pinch of fleur de sel (for brittle)

A silken brown butter panna cotta is set just enough to hold shape but wobbles slightly. It's paired with a whole pear poached in sake and star anise, and finished with a delicate sesame brittle and a drizzle of pear-roasting syrup. The flavors build from nutty and mild to bright and floral, with crispy contrast throughout.
