Description

A creamy, nutty spread made from roasted pistachios that elevates desserts and breakfast dishes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted pistachios, roasted and peeled
  • 2 tablespoons mild oil (sunflower or light olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon icing sugar
  • 1 drop of vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roast pistachios at 160°C for 5-10 minutes to enhance flavor.
  2. Place warm pistachios in a food processor and pulse until they form a chunky paste, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Add oil, icing sugar, and vanilla extract, then blend until smooth.
  4. If the cream is too thick, add more oil sparingly.
  5. Use immediately or store in a sealed jar in the fridge.

Notes

For a smoother spread, use pre-peeled pistachios and be patient during blending to avoid overheating the blender.
