Nutty and sweet, this filling is sure to satisfy any true pistachio lover
Its the best around
Ok, so this is one ultra tasty filling, if I do say so myself! It only has 4 ingredients and is super easy to make, does it get any better than that? I am honestly an old soul I love pistachio praline ice cream, molasses cookies and have more medical problems than a 27 year old should have lol. With all that said I decided to create this filling for national pistachio day which is also the same day as a cake collaboration i'm participating in on Instagram. I knew I wanted the filling to be a whipped base, but I also wanted to make sure that the great crunch and texture of pistachios was still in there. I'm a huge fan of easy whipped pudding fillings! I don't care what anyone says, they are delicious and just as homemade as if I spent hours making a reduction then mixed it with heavy whipping cream. Work smarter not harder, that's my life motto that I always take to heart. This does not mean that you should skimp on getting quality ingredients though. Make sure, if you can, to buy fresh non salted pistachios. I buy mine from Trader Joe's, which as you all know is my favorite grocery store. Picking quality ingredients will not only make your baked goods and fillings taste better but it will ensure that you and others will want to come back for more!
