Description
Pistachio Cream Delight is a rich and creamy dessert that combines the flavors of pistachio and vanilla, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pistachio paste
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the egg yolks and whisk until smooth.
- Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pistachio paste until well combined.
- Transfer the pistachio cream to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
- Once chilled, stir the cream gently before serving. Spoon into dessert cups and top with chopped pistachios for garnish.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with additional milk.
- Try adding a splash of almond extract for an extra layer of flavor.
