This homemade Dairy-free Pistachio Cream recipe is made with 5 ingredients. Thick, creamy, and flavorful, this pistachio cream is delicious in and on cakes and other desserts and slathered on muffin tops and breakfast breads.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add a couple of cups of water to a small saucepan and place it over a stovetop set to high heat. When the water starts to boil, add in the pistachios.
    Adding pistachios to boiling water
  • Let pistachios simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then, drain them (using a colander) and place them on a clean kitchen towel. While they are hot, using part of the kitchen towel folded over or another clean kitchen towel, rub the pistachios vigorously. The skins will start to separate. The ones that don’t, the skins can be easily peeled off while they are warm.
    Rub warm pistachios with a towel
  • Make sure the pistachios are dry. Then, place the pistachios on a baking tray and roast them for about 9 minutes.
    Skinned pistachios ready to bake
  • Remove from the oven and place the skinned and roasted pistachios into a food processor (or high-speed blender) along with the powdered sugar, avocado oil, salt, and almond milk.
  • Blend until the mixture is smooth.
    Blending all 5 ingredients
  • Spoon the pistachio cream into a mason jar or container with a lid. Wait until the pistachio cream has completely cooled down before securing the lid on.

Notes

Tips when making this recipe:
  • Use pistachios that are raw and unsalted.
  • Removing the skins of the pistachios results in a pistachio cream that is more vibrant in color and smoother in texture.
  • After pistachios are blanched and skins have been removed, roasting them helps remove excess moisture. Make sure that pistachios are completely dry before blending with the other ingredients.
  • In order to get a thin, more spreadable pistachio cream, add a couple more tablespoons of almond milk to this recipe.
