Ingredients Notes
- Pistachios: Raw, shelled, unsalted pistachios are best. You roast them yourself to release the oils.
- Salt: A pinch of sea salt brings out the nutty flavor.
- Optional: A drop of neutral oil (like grapeseed) if your blender struggles, or a touch of honey if you want it sweet.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Nuts
Roast the pistachios at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. This warms the natural oils, making them easier to blend and deepening the flavor.
Step 2: The Grinding Phase
Add warm pistachios to a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs. Keep going.
Step 3: The Creamy Phase
After about 5-10 minutes (patience!), the mixture will clump up and then suddenly release its oils and turn into liquid gold. Blend until silky smooth.
Serving Suggestion
Spread it on toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or us it as a filling for macron and cakes!
