Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients, especially the heavy cream and milk, as this will help the fluff set more quickly and smoothly.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, as this will help to incorporate air into the mixture and make it light and fluffy.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream and egg whites into the pistachio pudding mixture until just combined, as overmixing can cause the mixture to deflate.
  • Chill the pistachio fluff for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving, as this will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
  • Garnish the pistachio fluff with chopped pistachios, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey before serving for an extra touch of flavor and elegance.
