Pistachio Cream Delight is a creamy and rich dessert that combines the flavors of pistachio with a smooth custard base, perfect for serving in dessert cups or as a filling for pastries and cakes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pistachio paste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until just simmering, stirring occasionally.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the egg yolks and whisk until smooth.
  3. Once the milk mixture is simmering, slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the pistachio paste and butter until fully combined.
  6. Transfer the pistachio cream to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled and set.
  7. Serve the pistachio cream in dessert cups, on pastries, or as a filling for cakes.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with additional milk.
  • For a chocolate twist, swirl in some melted dark chocolate before chilling.
