If You Love Pistachios, This One’s for You!
If you’re a pistachio lover, you are going to absolutely love this Pistachio Pastry Cream! It’s incredibly rich, silky, and packed with nutty goodness. Plus, you can take it a step further and turn it into Pistachio Diplomat Cream—a lighter, even dreamier version!
One of the secrets to getting the best pistachio flavor? Instead of roasting them at high heat, I prefer to gently warm them at a low temperature. Yes, it takes a little longer (about 45 minutes), but it’s so worth it!
This slow process helps the pistachios retain their vibrant green color, removes excess moisture, and brings out their deep, natural flavor—which is key for making the most incredible pistachio paste.
Once blended into pastry cream and light whipped cream, the result is pure velvet—the perfect filling for éclairs, sweet rolls, or layered cakes. I hope you love it as much as I do!
