Pistachio Hot Chocolate
Pistachio hot chocolate is the best of both worlds. From the green slightly salted nuts to the warm chocolate….what's not to love?
Ingredients
- 4 cups Purified Water
- 1 cup Pistachios
- ¼ cup Cocoa butter
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 5 oz. White chocolate
- 3 cups Pistachio milk
- ½ cup Heavy cream
- ¼ tsp Espresso powder
- 2 tspp. Pistachio butter
Instructions
Pistachio Milk
- Soak the pistachios in the purified water overnight.
- Transfer the pistachio nuts into a food processor/blender and blend on a high speed for approximately 30-60 seconds. Then add the water and continue to blend for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the liquid into a bowl through layers of cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve. This process drains the liquid only, leaving behind any large chunks of nuts.
- Pour the milk into a bottle and refrigerate until ready for use.
Pistachio Hot Chocolate
- Add milk, sugar, espresso powder, and pistachio butter into a medium saucepan. Heat over a medium/medium-low heat, whisking occasionally until warm (but not boiling).
- Add in the white chocolate and cocoa butter and whisk constantly until everything melts. Lastly, whisk in the vanilla extract and serve immediately.
