Making Pistachio Nut butter recipe ⬇️: This is my first time making the viral Dubai chocolate. Instead of buying pistachio paste, I knew I could easily make it myself since I’ve always made my own nut butters, from almond butter to Nutella. So, this part was easy! However, I made a crucial mistake by adding icing ... You’ll see how that affected things in part two...

Recipe for pistachio nut butter:
Ingredients:
- 300 g unsalted pistachios
- 1-2 tbsp neutral oil
- Optional: salt and sweetener

Steps:
1. Soak pistachios in boiling water, then peel off the skins.
2. Dry the pistachios and roast at 160°C (or dry-roast in a pan).
3. Cool, then blend until creamy, adding oil to adjust texture.
4. Optional: add salt and sweetener (agave, honey not icing sugar)
5. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks.
