The secret to green cream? Pistachio Only Paste!
An Italian dessert demands the finest ingredients! To give the mascarpone cream its amazing green color and deep flavor, we used our Only Pistachio Pastes 100% roasted nuts .
This is the key to success. Our paste is 100% pistachio – free from colorants, added sugar, and palm oil. It creates an intensely pistachio-flavored, velvety, and unsweetened cream. It transforms an ordinary dessert into a treat from the finest confectionery.
Recipe for Christmas pistachio tiramisu
(The perfect amount of ingredients for 5 desserts/cups)
Ingredients:
-
2 egg yolks (eggs must be scalded with boiling water first!)
-
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
-
250g mascarpone cheese (chilled)
-
2 heaping tablespoons of Good Noot Only Pistachio Paste
-
8 pieces of oblong sponge cakes (ladyfingers)
-
1 cup of strong espresso (cooled)
-
1.5 tablespoons chopped pistachios for decoration
Preparation method:
-
Cream base: Place the egg yolks in a bowl with the powdered sugar. Beat with a mixer at high speed until light and fluffy (kogel-mogel).
-
Add the cheese: add the mascarpone cheese in batches to the beaten egg yolks, mixing constantly at a slower speed, just until the ingredients are combined (be careful not to overbeat the mascarpone cheese, as it will curdle!).
-
Pistachio Magic: Add 2 tablespoons of Pistachio Only Paste to a smooth cream. Blend briefly until the cream takes on a beautiful green color.
-
Layers: Prepare 5 cups or glasses. Break the ladyfingers into smaller pieces and briefly (literally, just a second!) dip them in the cooled espresso.
- Place a layer of soaked ladyfingers on the bottom.
- Spread half of the pistachio cream.
- Place another layer of biscuits.
- Cover with the rest of the cream
-
Decoration: Decorate the top of the desserts with dots of pistachio paste (you can use a pastry bag or a spoon) and chopped, crunchy pistachios.
-
Chilling: This is the hardest part – refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 3 hours. The flavors need to meld and the cream needs to set.
Enjoy! 😋
