5 Delicious Ways to Use Pistachio Cream
If you’ve ever tasted pistachio cream (aka crema di pistacchio), you’ll know it’s dangerously addictive, smooth, nutty & just the right amount of sweet. Whether you’ve just picked up a jar from Rustico Deli or are wondering how to use that green gold sitting in your cupboard, here are five delicious ways to enjoy it:
1. Pistachio Tiramisu
Give the classic Italian dessert a modern makeover by swapping out cocoa for pistachio cream. Layer espresso-soaked Savoiardi ladyfinger biscuits with mascarpone and a generous swirl of pistachio. We like to add chopped roasted pistacio nuts on top to finish!
2. Filled Croissants or Pastries
Warm a spoonful (or two) and stuff it inside a freshly baked croissant. Dust with icing sugar and top with crushed pistachios for that perfect bakery-style finish at home. Breakfast will never be the same again.
3. Pistachio Frosting
Add a scoop to buttercream or mascarpone for a nutty, subtle twist on your normal cake toppings. It pairs beautifully with vanilla, lemon, or chocolate sponge or even as a surprise filling.
4. Spread on Toast or Brioche
Sometimes simple is best. Spread on warm brioche, toast, or pancakes for an indulgent snack or breakfast. Add sliced strawberries and a pinch of sea salt for something extra special.
5. Swirled into Ice Cream
Stir it through vanilla gelato, drizzle over affogato, or use it as a ripple in homemade ice cream. Pistachio cream brings a luxurious, nutty depth that’s hard to beat!
