Description
A delightful and creamy homemade Italian-style pistachio cream that is perfect for spreading or using in desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Begin by placing the shelled pistachios and confectioners’ sugar into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture resembles a fine meal, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- With the blender running, gradually pour in the light olive oil, blending until the mixture transforms into a silky paste.
- Incorporate the almond extract and sea salt, blending once more until everything is well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the pistachio mixture, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Spoon the pistachio delight cream into a clean jar or airtight container and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, letting the flavors develop beautifully.
Notes
- For an enhanced flavor, consider lightly roasting the pistachios in a pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes before blending.
- You can also experiment by adding a teaspoon of hazelnut extract for a unique twist.
