Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the pistachios in a food processor and blend until they form a fine paste.
Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla, and salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Adjust consistency by adding a touch more cream if you want it thinner.
Transfer to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, lightly toast the pistachios before blending. Want it dairy-free? Swap the butter and cream for coconut cream. This pistachio cream also freezes well — thaw in the fridge overnight before using.
