Homemade Pistachio Paste
Pistachio paste is so easy to make with just 3 ingredients!
Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup whole pistachios or pistachio pieces (I use roasted/salted) 90g
- 9 tbsp powdered sugar 70g
- 1.5 tbsp water 20ml
- 1/2 tsp almond extract* optional
Instructions
- In a food processor, add 3/4 cup pistachios and 9 tbsp powdered sugar and process until uniformly crumbly.
- Add 1.5 tbsp water and 1/2 tsp almond extract* (if using) and process until a smooth paste forms. Makes about 2/3 cup or around 175 grams of pistachio paste.
Notes
*If you're able to find pistachio extract, that would be great to use in this recipe. Because I usually have almond extract on hand, that's what I use. Vanilla extract can also work in a pinch, or you can omit the extract altogether for a more pure pistachio flavor!
