Description

A smooth, rich pistachio cream perfect for Dubai chocolate bars. Made with just pistachios and white chocolate, it’s tahini-free, creamy, and easy to scale for gifts or homemade treats.


Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups raw shelled pistachios

1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for texture)

Pinch of salt

Optional: rose water or cardamom for flavor


Instructions

1. Add pistachios to a food processor and blend until a smooth paste forms.

2. Melt the white chocolate gently over a double boiler or in the microwave.

3. Mix the melted chocolate into the pistachio paste. Blend again until creamy.

4. Add coconut oil if needed for a smoother consistency.

5. Season with a pinch of salt. Add optional rose water or cardamom if desired.

6. Spoon or pour into jars, molds, or use as a chocolate bar filling.

7. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer.


Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate to avoid gritty texture.

If mixture is too thick, add coconut oil slowly.

To make it vegan, use dairy-free white chocolate.

Taste and adjust sweetness with extra chocolate if needed.
