Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 150 grams / 1 cup pistachios (natural, unsalted, raw)
- 40 milliliters / 3 tablespoons MCT oil
Sweetener:
- 5 grams / 1 teaspoon icing sugar (powdered sweetener)
Instructions
- Carefully shell the pistachios, ensuring all outer husks are removed completely.
- Transfer the raw pistachios into a compact food processor, ensuring the appliance is clean and dry.
- Pulse the pistachios continuously for 2-3 minutes, creating a fine, powdery texture that begins to release natural oils.
- Gradually introduce medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil into the processor, allowing the mixture to transform into a slightly liquid consistency.
- Incorporate powdered sugar or alternative sweetener, selecting a natural option like monk fruit or stevia for enhanced flavor profile.
- Continue processing the mixture for 8-12 minutes, periodically pausing to scrape down the processor’s interior walls with a silicone spatula.
- Monitor the consistency, aiming for a smooth, glossy spread that flows easily but maintains thickness.
- Once the pistachio butter reaches a creamy, uniform texture, halt the processing and inspect for any remaining granular sections.
- Select a clean, sterilized glass jar with an airtight seal for storage, preferably one that can hold approximately 8 fluid ounces (236 milliliters).
- Carefully transfer the freshly made pistachio butter into the container, using a non-reactive spatula to maximize product transfer.
- Refrigerate immediately, ensuring the jar’s lid is tightly secured to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation.
Notes
- Select premium pistachios straight from reliable suppliers to guarantee maximum flavor and freshness for your homemade butter.
- Monitor blending process carefully by pausing processor every couple minutes to prevent motor strain and check developing texture.
- Watch transformation from powdery state to thick paste, understanding that continuous processing creates smoother, more spreadable consistency.
- Control liquid incorporation strategically by adding MCT oil incrementally, ensuring butter maintains perfect thickness without becoming overly runny.
- Clean processor sides frequently using silicone spatula to integrate all nut particles and achieve uniform, creamy final product.
