1. Poach the figs in a syrup made from the water, sugar, orange flower water and Noilly Prat.
2. Add the zest of the orange and a split vanilla bean. Cook for 3 minutes at a bare simmer, then cool. Drain the figs and whisk the softened gelatin into the syrup.
3. Roll half the crushed pistachios up in the sheet of phyllo.
4. Divide the roll into 8 portions of baklava.
5. Brown for 7 minutes in a 180° C (350° F) oven with the remaining whole pistachios.
6. When you remove the baklava from the oven, dip the pieces briefly into the fig syrup and drain. Place the fig gelatin in the fridge to set.

2. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar.
3. Whisk the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture. Return to the pan and cook gently until thickened enough to coat a spatula.
