Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Shelled pistachios Unsalted roasted
  • 1/3 cup Powdered sugar Adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Pure vanilla for best flavor
  • Pinch Salt Enhances flavor
  • 2-3 tbsp Neutral oil Avocado or grapeseed

Instructions
 

Toast the nuts: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread pistachios on a baking sheet and roast for 8 minutes. Let cool.

    Blitz: Transfer pistachios to a food processor. Pulse until finely ground, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides.

      Sweeten: Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until combined.

        Smooth it out: While blending, drizzle in oil gradually until creamy and spreadable.

          Jar it: Transfer to an airtight jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!

            Notes

            • For a richer flavor, use lightly toasted pistachios.
            • If the cream is too thick, add 1 extra tbsp of oil and blend again.
            • For a sugar-free version, replace powdered sugar with a natural sweetener like maple syrup or dates.
            • Serving suggestions: Spread on toast, mix into oatmeal, swirl into coffee, or drizzle over ice cream.
