PISTACHIO DESSERT



Pistachio Dessert image

When I first fixed dinner for my father in law, he put this in his mouth and just sit there, I had no idea, I thought he wanted to spit it out, but once he swallowed it, he said he loved it and just wanted to hold it in his mouth. This was his very favorite, and everyone loves this. The cream cheese layer is sometimes hard to spread, I use the back of a large spoon and run cold water over it. Prep time includes 4 hours in the fridge before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality pistachios for the best flavor. Look for pistachios that are bright green and have a sweet, nutty taste.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the pistachios finely by hand. However, a food processor will make the job much easier.
  • Be sure to toast the pistachios before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the dessert will be less rich and creamy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs. The custard should be thick and creamy, but it should not be curdled.
  • Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.

Conclusion:

This pistachio dessert is a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts and hostesses. The combination of pistachios, cream, and eggs creates a rich and creamy dessert that is sure to please everyone.
