Description

Creamy, subtly sweet, and luxuriously green—this homemade pistachio butter is the nutty upgrade your pantry’s been waiting for. Made with just one ingredient, it’s rich, spreadable, and bursting with gourmet flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups shelled pistachios (raw or roasted, unsalted)
Optional: Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
Optional: Up to 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil (if needed)

Instructions

Add pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend for 30–60 seconds until the nuts become crumbly.
Continue blending, pausing to scrape down sides, until mixture turns into a paste, then smooth butter (about 4–6 minutes).
Optional: Add salt, honey, or spices, and blend again for 30 seconds.
If mixture is too thick, blend in a small amount of neutral oil.
Transfer to a clean jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

Use roasted pistachios for a richer, toastier flavor. Customize with flavors like vanilla, cocoa, or orange zest. Swirl into yogurt, spread on toast, or enjoy straight from the spoon.
