Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Coconut oil (solid form)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 cup Raw pistachios (unsalted)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk (for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons Raw pistachios (chopped, for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the solid coconut oil into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with your hands until the dough begins to come together. Do not over-mix.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a food processor, blend the raw pistachios until finely ground but not turning into a paste.
Transfer the ground pistachios to a bowl; mix in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of almond milk, and cornstarch to form a thick paste. Set aside.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle approximately 10x14 inches.
Spread the pistachio filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Carefully roll the dough into a log starting at a long side, tucking in the edges as you roll.
Place the rolled pastry seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush with almond milk and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
