Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 oz Roasted, Unsalted Pistachios
  • Pinch of Salt
  • ½ tsp Coconut Oil

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Place the roasted, unsalted pistachios, a pinch of salt, and ½ teaspoon of coconut oil into a sturdy food processor. Secure the lid tightly.
  2. Start Blending: Begin blending the ingredients, allowing the food processor to work through the nuts. Every minute, stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure even blending.
  3. Continue Blending: Keep blending and scraping down the sides repeatedly for 6-8 minutes. You’ll notice the mixture’s texture changing multiple times, eventually becoming smooth and creamy like peanut butter as oils release from the nuts.
  4. Transfer and Store: Once creamy and smooth, stop the processor and transfer the pistachio butter into a clean jar. Seal and store as desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Pistachio butter can last indefinitely in the refrigerator, or several weeks if stored at room temperature.
  • Bright Green Color: For a brighter green butter, blanch shelled pistachios in boiling water for a few seconds, then rub off skins using paper towels before processing.
  • Vitamix Option: Using a Vitamix, blend nuts, salt, and coconut oil on medium speed, tamping often, to create butter in under two minutes. Note that some pistachio loss may occur with this method.
  • Total Time: The full blending process takes about 6-8 minutes to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
