- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1⁄2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream (or half and half, whichever has fewer additives)
- 1⁄4 cup honey

directions
- Preheat oven to 325.
- In a food processor, combine cookies, nuts, sugar, and salt. Process until fine crumbs form. With machine running, slowly add butter until mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press crumbs in bottom and up side of a 9 inch pie plate. Bake until crust is golden brown and fragrant, about 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely in pie plate on a wire rack.
- Place 3 tbsp cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top and let stand for five minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine cream (or half and half--whichever you are using), honey, cardamom, and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Don't boil. Remove from heat.
- Off heat, whisk in gelatin mixture until completely dissolved.
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt and vanilla until completely smooth.
- Add cream mixture to bowl and whisk gently to combine. Pour filling into cooled crust and refrigerate until chilled and completely set, about 2 hours.
- Top with fig preserves to serve.
- Adaptations: I have also made this pie with walnut or almonds in place of the pistachios. Play with flavors--change the spices or use a different fruit topping.
