Healthy Homemade Pistachio Butter

Homemade Pistachio Butter?  What?  I thought you were the PEANUT BUTTER type??

Oh, I am.  Trust me.

These pistachios were actually an impulse buy.  I passed a giant bag at the grocery store and grabbed it (I think it was the packaging… it was just so pretty!).

So even though I was never really a fan of pistachios, I knew that they always added beautiful colors and presentation to a dish.  Even though this is green, it’s gorgeous.  Not to mention, incredibly delicious and amazingly addicting!

Yes, even to a peanut butter lover…

Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients

  1. Delicious! Pistachios are my favorite nut, but somehow it never even crossed my mind to make a nut butter out of them! I can’t wait to try this out.

  2. Yum! I can think of at least five people who would go nuts (har har) for this. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!

  3. Delicious! Just a little interesting piece of info I learned a few months back…all nuts sold in normal grocery stores are technically “cooked” (even if stated as “raw”) if they are shelled. Almonds (and possibly others) are illegal to sell unpasteurized, so 99% of almonds are cooked. Truly uncooked nuts are sold usually in health food stores or the health food section of some grocery stores by the raw vegan stuff and specially marked as unpasteurized raw nuts.
    Love your website btw, I never imagined it was possible to make so many rich desserts so healthily…I’m inspired 🙂
