Just discovered Pistachio butter at Wegmans & I’m in love
Other than very obvious uses anyone have any suggestions for how to use it?

I’ve been reading this thread, and I’m thinking I’m going to try an “easy” chocolate tart (or tartlets using little frozen crusts) and try and spread some pistachio cream I have on top sprinkled with chopped salted pistachios.

I whip it with a bit of light cream and use it as a pastry filling btwn sliced croissants, btwn waffles and ice cream, crepe filling, on toast as a spread and added to cheese boards as a cracker dip.

Dresses up shortbread cookies.

I’m not even finding it on the Wegmans site. Might look for it in-store tomorrow, especially if it’s a better deal than the imported pistachio stuff we get for ice cream or to put on toast.

So if I cover a Toblerone or dip my Ghirardelli’s chocolates in it do you think I will survive. Toblerone yes but my sacred Ghirardelli’s could be cause me to faint in ecstasy

Understood. I shared it because there were ideas for using it, like “It’s the ultimate topping for ice cream sundaes, and makes a bang-up frosting for that aforementioned pistachio cake (pistachio Chantilly?) as well—just one of many uses you’ll find for homemade pistachio paste once you have some on hand”

@ChristinaM shared a pistachio shortbread recipe
