Pistachio Cream Spread is a silky, nutty, and mildly sweet homemade spread made from ground pistachios, sugar, and cream. Perfect for toast, croissants, desserts, and more, it’s an easy, luxurious alternative to store-bought versions.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream (adjust as needed)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (sunflower or light olive oil)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tbsp melted white chocolate or 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk (optional, for richness)

Instructions

  1. Optional: Blanch pistachios by boiling them for 1 minute, draining, and rubbing in a towel to remove skins. Let dry completely.
  2. In a food processor or high-speed blender, pulse pistachios until finely ground into a paste.
  3. Add sugar, oil, and salt. Blend until combined and smooth.
  4. Gradually add milk or cream until the mixture reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency.
  5. Add vanilla extract and optional melted white chocolate or condensed milk for added richness and flavor.
  6. Blend until fully smooth, adjusting consistency with more milk or oil if needed.
  7. Transfer to a sterilized jar and refrigerate. Use within 10 days.

Notes

Use roasted pistachios for a more intense, nutty flavor.Blanching helps achieve a vibrant green color.Adjust sugar to taste depending on how sweet you want the spread.Bring to room temperature before using if it thickens in the fridge.Do not microwave directly in the storage jar.
