Smooth & Creamy American Pistachio Butter

 

 

Creamy and spreadable, but with a nutty richness thats distinctly adult, this pistachio-flavored riff on Nutella makes an awesome filling for macarons, but you can also dunk strawberries in it, serve it as a dip for pretzels, spread it all over a warm crepe, or just find a spoon and go to town the waylets face itmost of us do when theres a jar of Nutella hanging around. While its not complicated to make, the recipe does require a confectioners device known as a conche or melanger, which we know isnt a staple of every household kitchen. You can often find conches used online, however, so if youre interested in confections, we encourage you to consider investingbut only if you want to stop the show at your next dinner party with some Pistachio Butterstuffed profiteroles.
