Sweet Pistachio Recipes - Slashfood Ate (8)

Pistachio Chocolate Balls
When I think of pistachios, I automatically think sweet. Perhaps, this is due to the Egyptian and Syrian side of my family. From an early age, I associated pistachios with sweet syrupy nutty baklava and pistachio ice cream. We would alternate between pistachio baklava and the traditional one made with walnuts and almonds.

As I got older, I started to explore other pistachio flavored desserts. On a recent culinary adventure to Café Sabarsky in Manhattan I discovered the Austrian cake Mozart Torte. This one was made with pistachios, chocolate, and nougat cream. I haven't had any luck yet finding the recipe.

Below are 8 delicious pistachio recipes that are sure to fulfill your craving for something sweet and nutty:

  1. Rice Pudding with Cardamom and Pistachios
  2. Honeyed Goat Cheese Tart with Pistachio Crust
  3. Pistachio Gelato
  4. Meringue "Eggs" with Pistachio Custard and Chocolate Drizzle
  5. Pistachio Almond Nougat Torroncini
  6. Coconut Pistachio Meringues
  7. Middle Eastern Nut Filled Multi-layered Pastry
  8. Pistachio Baklava
What are some of your favorite pistachio desserts?

The crust was Ritz cracker crumbles and I think it had Skor on top. It was the first time I had pistachio pudding. I'm not sure if it really tastes like pistachios but I have fond memories of it in any case.
