Homemade Pistachio Butter
This homemade pistachio butter is creamy, nutty and lightly sweetened with honey. It makes approximately one cup and requires only five ingredients.
Ingredients:
• 2 cups raw, shelled and unsalted pistachios • 2 tablespoons milk powder • 1 tablespoon pure honey • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or another neutral oil • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Add the pistachios to a food processor or high-speed blender. Process for 2–3 minutes until finely ground.
Scrape down the sides and continue blending. The pistachios will first form a thick paste before gradually becoming smoother as their natural oils are released.
Add the milk powder, honey, avocado oil and sea salt. Blend again until everything is completely combined and the pistachio butter is smooth and creamy.
Taste and add a little more honey for sweetness or a small pinch of salt for extra depth. Transfer the pistachio butter to a clean airtight jar and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Serve it on toast, pancakes or waffles, stir it into oatmeal or yoghurt, blend it into smoothies or drizzle it over ice cream.
