Silky Pistachio Spread (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup shelled pistachios
02 -
½ cup heavy cream, split in half
03 -
3 oz white chocolate
04 -
1 tablespoon sugar powder
05 -
Small pinch of salt
06 -
Dash of milk (if needed for thinning)
# Instructions:
01 -
Get water bubbling in a pot. Toss in your shelled pistachios and let them cook for 5 minutes. Drain them well and put them on a kitchen towel. Gently rub to peel off the skins, setting aside the clean nuts.
02 -
Drop your cleaned pistachios into your blender. Add ¼ cup of the cream, the sugar powder, and that tiny bit of salt. Run it for about 5 minutes, making sure to wipe down the sides now and then. You'll see the nuts turn to bits first, then slowly become smooth.
03 -
Take your small pot and put in the leftover cream with the white chocolate. Warm it up slowly, stirring often until everything's melted together nicely. Let it cool down a bit.
04 -
Pour half the melted chocolate stuff into your nut blend while the machine's running. Once it's all mixed in, see if you want more and add accordingly.
05 -
If it seems too stiff, add a tiny bit of milk to thin it out. Keep blending till it's nice and smooth.
06 -
All done! Use it right away or put it in a sealed jar and keep it cold for up to a week.
