Equipment
- 1 Food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 4 to 5 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- Pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- To a high-powered blender or food processor, add the pistachios. Pulse until roughly ground. Transfer to a small bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
- Cook over high heat until it reaches 220 degrees and is bubbling. Pour over the pistachios and mix immediately with a silicon spatula. This is hot sugar so do not try and get the pistachios off the spatula (I did this and burned my finger).
- Transfer the pistachio/sugar mixture to the blender and pulse until finely ground. While the machine is running, pour in the oil and salt. Blend until it resembles a soft nut butter, about 2 minutes.
- Give it a taste and add more salt if you like. Serve on anything: toast, fruit, carbs...whatever you like. This is best stored in the fridge. Just a heads up, when this nut-butter is cold, it'll be super firm (because of the coconut oil), simply bring it to room temperature and it'll be easily spreadable.
