Homemade pistachio paste is undoubtedly much better than store-bought. By preparing it yourself, you ensure not only an intense and authentic taste but also a 100% pistachio composition, without additives or preservatives.<\/p>\n
The choice of pistachios is essential to obtain a tasty paste with a beautiful color. Raw, peeled, and well-green Iranian pistachios allow you to obtain a vibrant paste without adding coloring. However, if you use simply shelled pistachios, the color will be more khaki green.<\/p>\n
Given the price of pistachios, preparing your own paste ensures that it contains 100% pistachio, unlike commercial ones which may, in some cases, contain other nuts as well as pistachio flavoring to reduce the cost. <\/p>\n

Fortunately, making your own pistachio paste is child’s play and only takes a few minutes, especially if you have a good blender. For those who own a Thermomix, the task becomes even easier: its power allows you to obtain a perfectly smooth and fluid nut paste, perfect for spreading or for making numerous recipes.<\/p>\n
I used a 1-2-3 pulse food processor, which needs to be turned off several times to let the motor cool down. That’s why I dream of getting a more powerful food processor.<\/p>\n

Roast them for 8 minutes to intensify their flavor. The pistachios should not brown.<\/p>\n First, blend the pistachios alone to reduce them to a fine powder.<\/p>\n Add the sugar and blend again until you get a homogeneous texture.<\/p>\n Stop the food processor to scrape down the sides, then continue blending until you get a smooth, runny paste.<\/p>\n Add oil if necessary to help liquefy the paste.<\/p>\n To enhance the flavor, incorporate the bitter almond extract at the end of preparation (optional).<\/p>\n This paste can also be made without sugar according to your preferences.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong><\/span> If you’re using a not very powerful food processor, stop it from time to time to let the motor cool down and avoid overheating.<\/p>\n Pour the pistachio paste into a glass jar and seal it tightly.<\/p>\n You can store the pistachio paste for one week at room temperature in an airtight glass jar, or in the refrigerator for better preservation for 2 to 3 months. Remember to mix it well before using if the oil rises to the surface.<\/p>\n For longer storage, you can freeze it. Place it in small silicone molds and freeze it for up to 6 months, or even longer. Thaw it in the refrigerator before use.<\/p>\n You can use pistachio paste in many recipes. In pastry, you can add it to all creams and ganaches, as well as to flavor cake batters, brioches, financiers, madeleines, etc. <\/p>\n It goes in all desserts: Ice creams, mousses, entremets, tiramisu, cheesecakes.. In drinks, Pistachio latte, milkshakes, smoothies or simply as a spread on crepes, bread or pancakes.<\/p>\n Homemade Nutella<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Peanut butter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n
