Ingredients
- 2 cups Shelled unsalted pistachios
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (e.g., grapeseed or avocado)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by setting up your food processor or high-speed blender, as this is the key tool for making smooth nut butter.
Step 2
Pour 2 cups of shelled unsalted pistachios into the food processor. Using pistachios without shells saves time and effort.
Step 3
Process the pistachios on high speed, pausing every couple of minutes to scrape down the sides with a spatula. You will notice the pistachios first form a fine meal, then begin to clump together as oils are released.
Step 4
Continue processing and scraping for approximately 10-12 minutes until the texture becomes smooth and creamy. This may vary based on your equipment’s power.
Step 5
Once smooth, add 0.25 teaspoons of salt and blend for an additional minute to incorporate the salt evenly.
Step 6
To improve the consistency or if the butter is too thick for your liking, add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and blend briefly to combine. The oil helps achieve a creamier texture without altering the natural flavor of the pistachios.
Step 7
Taste the pistachio butter and adjust the salt according to your preference.
Step 8
Transfer the pistachio butter into a clean, airtight container. Store in the refrigerator, where it will remain fresh for up to 3 weeks.
Step 9
Enjoy your sugar-free pistachio butter on toast, as a filling for baked goods, in smoothies, or as a delicious dip.
