Description
A delicious and creamy pistachio cream pie that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream and crushed pistachios for topping (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a pre-made crust, follow the package instructions for baking. Allow it to cool before adding the filling.
- Blend the Pistachios: Use a food processor to blend the shelled pistachios until they form a fine powder. Set aside a tablespoon of the crushed pistachios for garnishing later.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and pistachio powder. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly before pouring it into the prepared pie crust.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once chilled, top with whipped cream and sprinkle the reserved crushed pistachios for garnish. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use high-quality, unsalted pistachios for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness of the filling to your taste.
- For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of heavy cream and milk.
