Ingredients
-
16 oz roasted unsalted pistachios (shelled)
-
1/2 tsp coconut oil (optional, for extra creaminess)
-
Pinch of salt (to taste)
Instructions
-
Blend Pistachios:
Add pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor. -
Process Until Smooth:
Blend for 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. The nuts will go from a coarse meal to a thick paste, then become a smooth butter. -
Add Oil & Salt:
Once smooth and creamy, add coconut oil and a pinch of salt. Blend again until fully incorporated and silky. -
Taste & Adjust:
Taste and adjust salt if desired. -
Store:
Transfer to a clean glass jar and refrigerate. Use within 2–3 weeks.
Notes
-
For a naturally sweeter flavor, add 1–2 Medjool dates during blending.
-
Use salted pistachios if you prefer a saltier spread—just omit added salt.
-
Great for drizzling over fruit, toast, yogurt bowls, or mixing into batters.
