  1. Grind the Pistachios and then the almonds into as fine a powder as possible.(some of it may become buttery, which is fine), or use pistachio or almond butter,
  2. In a blender, add the ground Pistachios and almonds, cornstarch, raw sugar, spices and Almond milk. Blend well until the mixture is well combined.
  3. Transfer mix to a pan and bring to just about a boil on low-medium heat, stirring almost constantly.
  4. Or microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave for 30 seconds again(it should bubble slightly).
