Make your own pistachio cream
Making your own pistachio cream is really easy and only requires a few ingredients. You can enjoy the cream perfectly as a spread on bread, conjure up delicious desserts or make the famous Dubai chocolate.
Is pistachio cream the same as pistachio purée?
Pistachio cream is actually not the same as pistachio puree. The puree consists of 100% pistachios and is therefore a raw product, while the cream is a composition of several ingredients. The pistachio cream is perfect for Dubai Chocolate.
