Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 oz Roasted, Unsalted Pistachios
  • Pinch of Salt
  • ½ tsp Coconut Oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Food Processor: Place the roasted unsalted pistachios, a pinch of salt, and ½ teaspoon of coconut oil into a sturdy food processor.
  2. Start Blending: Secure the lid and begin processing the ingredients. The mixture will transform from chopped nuts to a creamy butter texture.
  3. Scrape the Sides: Periodically stop the food processor and scrape down the sides to ensure even blending and prevent sticking.
  4. Continue Blending: Keep blending for 6 to 8 minutes. You will notice the texture evolve through stages—from coarse to thick, and finally smooth like peanut butter.
  5. Store the Butter: Once smooth and creamy, remove the pistachio butter from the food processor and transfer it to a clean jar for storage.

Notes

  • Use roasted unsalted pistachios for the best flavor and texture.
  • If the pistachios seem dry, add a bit more coconut oil to help the blending process.
  • Store pistachio butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • Allow the butter to come to room temperature before spreading for easier use.
