Ingredients

  • 100 g (3.5oz) unsalted pistachios
  • 30 g (1oz/2 tbsp) ground almonds
  • 30 g (1oz/2 tbsp) sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla powder or extract
  • 3 tablespoon water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whizz the pistachios together in a grinder with the almond flour, sugar and vanilla powder or extract until ground finely.
  2. Add the water and whizz again briefly to turn the mixture into a paste.

Notes

  • Use unsalted pistachios for baking. Ideally, find the best deal and quality but, if you can, go for European pistachios. The top, la crème de la crème, are either Sicilian Bronte pistachios, Iranian, Green or Turkish.
  • Store in a sealed, sterilised jam jar in the fridge for up to a month or freeze for up to 3 months.
