Let me know if you make pistachio paste and what you made it for. I'll be adding new videos in this series on pistachio desserts really soon. Thanks for watching!!!
The oils should release while it's being blended, but I've found that the dry to wet ratio is off for the constancy that I was looking for. Sometimes it's the strange ideas that work.
@@MakingYummy I think it has to do with boiling the pistachio, usually it lightly toasted, and I saw some people boil it but they dry it a little bit in oven before blending 🤷🏾
@@lillysmith4040 that’s right. A bit of roasting would help extract the oils. Also one could add a bit of condescended milk, honey, olive oil, whipping cream… these are some of the options.
I don't see any reason why you can't exchange the water for milk if you just plan on using it as a condiment, but it will likely change the flavor of it. As long as you're ok with it having a bit of a milk flavor you should be fine. If you plan on using it in when it's called for in a recipe it could cause issues. For example I just got done filming the base for vanilla ice cream and if I used it in that for a pistachio ice cream the fat percentage could be thrown off.
@@foodieforlife8263 Honey is a really great idea! I've been working on a new recipe with honey and pistachio that I'm hoping to shoot once I can get my camera fixed and the honey pairs nicely with pistachio in my opinion.
I’d say you’re good for three months if you keep it in the fridge. I wouldn’t keep it in the freezer because it could have issues when you bring it back up to room temp. Since the pistachio oil is being released during blending it could separate and might not come out of the freezer the same.
I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work, but I've never tried it. You could try doing it in two batches too making sure to scrap down the sides if anything gets stuck to them. So as the blades mix it heats the pistachios which releases the oils in the nut. You just need the mixture to contact the blades to help with that.
@@MakingYummy okay great! did the addition of water affect the flavour in any way, i suppose not as you’ve just said it worked for you.. also: how long do you store this (in the fridge?) ?
I just tasted some from the batch that I made in the video and it’s still as good as the day I made it, although the color did darken. It’s got a good pistachio flavor. I’ve keep it in the fridge just because the oil in nuts will spoil eventually, but if you plan on using it all faster than I have you could probably keep it in your pantry.

Looks amazing 🤩
yum!!!❤
do these need to be roasted or dried in the oven before processing
Table spoon or two would help pistachio oil coming out adding the water is outrageous

@@foodieforlife8263 😂😂condescended milk? 😁🤫
Is it possible to replace the water with milk to make it more creamy?

You could add milk or condensed milk or honey to it. Some people also use whipping cream

What is the brand of the food processor you used?
It's a Breville food processor
How long can u keep it? Will it be longer if freeze?

Can I use this in a blender ??

Water in nut butter?!?!?!????????
True you could probably exchange the water for a neutral oil, but this is what I found works with recipes that call for pistachio paste.
