Method
Preparation
- Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add the shelled pistachios and boil for 3 minutes.
- Drain the pistachios and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Fold the towel over and rub gently to remove the skins. Discard the skins.
- Place the cleaned pistachios into a blender.
Melting Chocolate and Butter
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and 60ml of milk. Heat in the microwave in 20-second bursts until the butter melts and the milk is hot.
- Add the chopped white chocolate to the bowl. Stir until melted. If necessary, heat for an additional 10-15 seconds.
Blending
- In the blender with the pistachios, add the remaining 130ml of milk, confectioner's sugar, kosher salt, and the melted white chocolate mixture.
- Pulse on medium speed until the pistachios turn into a paste, stopping 3-4 times to scrape down the sides.
- Blend on high power for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Storage
- Transfer the pistachio cream to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
You can use this pistachio cream as a spread, filling, or dip. It pairs well with various snacks and desserts. For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays or freezer-safe bags.
