Ingredients

  • 1 cup pistachios shelled
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons water
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • Pinch kosher salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a high-powered blender or food processor, add the pistachios. Pulse until roughly ground. Transfer to a small bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
  2. Cook over high heat until it reaches 220 degrees and is bubbling. Pour over the pistachios and mix immediately with a silicon spatula. This is hot sugar so do not try and get the pistachios off the spatula (I did this and burned my finger).
  3. Transfer the pistachio/sugar mixture to the blender and pulse until finely ground. While the machine is running, pour in the oil and salt. Blend until it resembles a soft nut butter, about 2 minutes.
  4. Give it a taste and add more salt if you like. Serve on anything: toast, fruit, carbs...whatever you like. This is best stored in the fridge. Just a heads up, when this nut-butter is cold, it'll be super firm (because of the coconut oil), simply bring it to room temperature and it'll be easily spreadable.
