Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup raw unsalted pistachios
  • 4 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½- ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In your blender, soak pistachios in milk for 30 minutes.
  • Blend on high for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour milk through a fine mesh strainer or a cheese cloth to separate pulp from milk.
  • In a heavy saucepan, pour all the milk except for ¼ cup and heat.
  • Stir in sugar until completely dissolved then add vanilla extract.
  • In a cup mix the cornstarch and the remaining ¼ cup of milk.
  • When there are no lumps, pour the cornstarch mixture over the warm milk in the saucepan.
  • Keep stirring until the mixture gets bubbly and thick, remove from heat.
  • Pour pudding into individual serving bowls, cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve.
  • Garnish with more pistachios and serve.

Notes

  • You can use almond extract in place of the vanilla extract for extra nutty flavor.
  • Make pistachio pudding dairy-free by using coconut milk or water in place of cow's milk.
Variations
  • Top pistachio pudding a dollop of fresh Chantilly cream.
  • Add layers of your favorite crushed nuts or cookies in between the pudding.
Storage
  • Leftover pistachio pudding can be wrapped with plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
