Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shelled unsalted pistachios
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (e.g., grapeseed or avocado)
Instructions
Begin by setting up your food processor or high-speed blender, as this is the key tool for making smooth nut butter.
Pour 2 cups of shelled unsalted pistachios into the food processor. Using pistachios without shells saves time and effort.
Process the pistachios on high speed, pausing every couple of minutes to scrape down the sides with a spatula. You will notice the pistachios first form a fine meal, then begin to clump together as oils are released.
Continue processing and scraping for approximately 10-12 minutes until the texture becomes smooth and creamy. This may vary based on your equipment’s power.
Once smooth, add 0.25 teaspoons of salt and blend for an additional minute to incorporate the salt evenly.
To improve the consistency or if the butter is too thick for your liking, add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and blend briefly to combine. The oil helps achieve a creamier texture without altering the natural flavor of the pistachios.
Taste the pistachio butter and adjust the salt according to your preference.
Transfer the pistachio butter into a clean, airtight container. Store in the refrigerator, where it will remain fresh for up to 3 weeks.
Enjoy your sugar-free pistachio butter on toast, as a filling for baked goods, in smoothies, or as a delicious dip.
