Notes
- Make sure your pistachios are fresh! If they're a little stale, re-crisp them in a 325 degree oven for about 5 minutes. Be careful not to let them toast, you just want to remove the moisture.
- You don't need to wipe out the food processor after making the crust even if there is still some dough! The filling has the same ingredients so it won't be affected.
