Print Recipe

Enjoy the rich and creamy texture of homemade pistachio cream, made with raw pistachios, powdered sugar, and a touch of vanilla. This versatile spread is perfect for toast, desserts, or smoothies, making it a delightful treat for nut enthusiasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw pistachios, shelled
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Water (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Soak the raw pistachios in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. For a quicker option, soak them in hot water for about 30 minutes.
  2. After soaking, drain the pistachios and rinse them under cold water to remove bitterness.
  3. For a lighter-colored cream, remove the skins from the pistachios by pinching them; this step is optional.
  4. In a high-speed blender or food processor, blend the soaked and drained pistachios on high speed until they form a fine meal, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Add the powdered sugar and salt to the pistachio meal and blend until well combined.
  6. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil and add the vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth. If too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  7. If the cream is still too thick, gradually add more water or oil, blending after each addition until silky and spreadable.
  8. Once smooth, transfer the pistachio cream to a clean, airtight jar.
  9. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir before using, as it may separate over time.

Notes

  • Quality Ingredients: The flavor of your pistachio cream will depend on the quality of the pistachios used. Choose fresh, high-quality nuts for the best results.
  • Versatile Uses: This cream can be used in various ways, including as a spread, in desserts, smoothies, baking, or as a dip.
