Description
A delightful treat that combines creamy textures with a nutty flavor, this Pistachio White Chocolate Pudding is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shelled pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the pistachios by placing them in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Reserve a small amount for garnishing later.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and ground pistachios. Heat over medium heat until warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the warm cream mixture until fully incorporated. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbling, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped white chocolate and vanilla extract until melted and smooth.
- For an extra smooth texture, strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
- Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls or cups, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Garnish with crushed pistachios before serving and enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure cornstarch is certified gluten-free.
