Pistachio Pudding

 


Pistachio Pudding

Ingredients

1 cup raw unsalted pistachios, shelled, plus more for garnish

½ cup granulated sugar, divided

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons whole milk, divided

1 large egg plus 2 large egg yolks

2 tablespoons cornstarch

⅛ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

¼ tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Whipped cream, for garnish

Directions

Grind pistachios:

Add pistachios to the bowl of a food processor and process until finely ground and beginning to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Mix your base:

Add ¼ cup sugar and 2 tablespoons milk and pulse until a paste forms. Combine the paste with the remaining 2 cups milk in a large saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, whisking to break up any clumps, until the mixture begins to steam.

Combine nuts with remaining ingredients:

While the milk is heating, add the remaining ¼ cup sugar with the egg, yolks, cornstarch, and salt to the food processor and process until combined. With the food processor still running, slowly add ½ cup of the warm milk into the mixture to temper the eggs.

Add pistachio blend to warm milk:

Scrape the contents of the food processor into the saucepan with the remaining warm milk mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding starts to bubble and thicken.

Stir in butter and vanilla:

Remove from the heat, add the butter and vanilla, and stir until the butter is melted.

Portion pudding and chill:

Divide the pudding among 6 serving cups. Cover each with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface of the puddings. Chill for at least 4 hours.

Add toppings and enjoy your homemade pudding:

Serve topped with whipped cream and chopped pistachios.
