Ingredients
- 100 grams Unshelled pistachios
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 35 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 20 grams Powdered sugar
- 20 grams Chopped pistachios
Directions
Step 1
Blanch the 100 grams of unshelled pistachios by boiling them in water for 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the pistachios and immediately transfer them into a bowl of ice-cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 3
Peel the skins off the pistachios and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Step 4
Add the peeled pistachios and granulated sugar (80 grams) to a food processor. Blend until a fine powder forms, then add 3 tablespoons of milk from the measured 500 milliliters and blend into a smooth pistachio paste.
Step 5
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch (35 grams) and the remaining milk (about 470 milliliters) until smooth.
Step 6
Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the pistachio paste, vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), and salt (0.25 teaspoon). Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 7-10 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Step 8
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream (250 milliliters) with the powdered sugar (20 grams) until soft peaks form.
Step 9
Once the pistachio cream has set, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios (20 grams).
Step 10
Serve cold and enjoy this rich and creamy dessert!
