If the pistachios are not already roasted, roast them in the oven at 180°C for about 10 minutes. Let them cool and then chop them roughly.
Cook the caramel: In a small casserole dish, mix the honey, sugar and water. Bring to the boil and cook over medium heat until 150°C (you can use a kitchen thermometer). If you don’t have a thermometer, cook until the mixture is golden and caramelized.
Beat the egg whites: Meanwhile, in a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff.
