Bloom the gelatin in the water. Then, gently heat over low heat until completely dissolved.

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the pistachio cream into the whipped cream until a smooth and homogenous mixture is achieved.

Add the dissolved gelatin to the pistachio cream mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure the cake sets firmly.
