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:

This is kind of ghetto, but my mom had this ice cream cake-ish dessert that used pistachio pudding. 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.
