Natural pistachio: uses in baking and how to make pistachio cream

Pure shelled pistachio kernels, natural and unsalted, are a premium ingredient for baking, creams and snacks. As they are neither toasted nor salted, you control the final result. In this guide we cover their uses and how to make pistachio cream.

Point 1

What natural pistachio kernels are

It is shelled pistachio kernels, with no added salt or prior toasting. That lets you use them as they are or toast them at home to the level you prefer, keeping all their flavour.

It is ideal when pistachio should be the star: premium baking, artisan creams, granolas or as a natural snack.

Point 2

How to toast it

To enhance its flavour, spread it on a tray and bake at about 170 °C for around 8 minutes, watching it so it does not overcook.

Light toasting intensifies the aroma and improves the texture, especially if you are then going to blend it into a cream.

Point 3

How to make pistachio cream

Blend the pistachio in a powerful blender or food processor until smooth. The nut's natural fat will gradually form a creamy paste.

If you toast it lightly first, you will get a more aromatic cream. You can adjust the sweetness and texture depending on how you plan to use it.
