Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups shelled unsalted pistachios Make sure your pistachios are fresh.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Adjust based on taste.
  • 1-2 tablespoons oil (optional, such as coconut or avocado oil) Add for a creamier texture.
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (optional, like honey or maple syrup) Adjust sweetness to your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare your ingredients: Start with unsalted pistachios; if they’re roasted, it will add a deeper flavor!
  2. Blend away: Place the pistachios in a food processor and blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until they break down into a crumbly mixture.
  3. Keep blending: Continue blending, scraping down the sides as needed. After several minutes, the mixture will begin to clump together.
  4. Add salt and oil: Once smooth, add the salt. If you want a creamier texture, gradually add your chosen oil while the processor is running.
  5. Taste test: Adjust with sweetener if desired, blending until you reach your preferred flavor.
  6. Store: Transfer to an airtight container, and your homemade pistachio butter awaits!

Notes

Your homemade Pistachio Butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and can be frozen for up to three months. Stir if it separates.
