Ingredients

• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 1 cup Shelled pistachios
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.

Step 3

In a food processor, blend the shelled pistachios and powdered sugar until finely ground and well combined.

Step 4

Add unsalted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the pistachio mixture in the food processor. Blend until smooth to create the pistachio cream filling.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth the creases. Cut each sheet into 8 equal rectangles (for a total of 16 rectangles).

Step 6

Place about 1 tablespoon of the pistachio cream filling in the center of half of the rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the filled rectangles with the egg wash (made by whisking the egg yolk and water together).

Step 8

Place a second rectangle of puff pastry over the filling. Press the edges together gently and use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the puffs.

Step 9

Arrange the sealed pistachio puffs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the pistachio puffs cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

Step 13

Dust the cooled puffs lightly with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
