Make your own pistachio butter

Making pistachio butter yourself is really super easy and very quick. You can process the puree directly into desserts, ice cream or spreads or eat it on its own and enjoy.

Pistachio puree is not the same as pistachio cream!

The puree and cream are really quite different. While the puree consists of 100% pistachios, the pistachio cream also contains white chocolate, butter and sugar, for example. However, you can also use the puree to conjure up a cream.

Pistachio puree made from 100% pistachios – here’s how!

To make your own pistachio butter, you really only need one ingredient: shelled pistachios!

And the steps to making your own pistachio puree are also super easy and quick to follow.

  1. Roasting pistachios: First of all, you need to roast the pistachios to bring out the full flavor. Roasted pistachios taste much more intense than unroasted pistachios. Your oven will do the roasting for you.
  2. Optional – shell the pistachios: If you wish, you can still skin the roasted pistachios. You can do this by placing them in a kitchen towel and carefully rubbing off the skin. However, this step is really only optional and would make your puree even finer and greener.
  3. Grind the pistachios: To make your own pistachio butter, simply grind the roasted pistachios in a blender. The pictures also show how the pistachios behave in the blender. First they are roughly chopped, then ground more finely until they become a velvety paste. This can take a few minutes until the oil is released from the pistachios and they become really fine.

Once you have made your own pistachio puree, pour it directly into a sterile jar. Now you can use it straight away or store it.
