Pistachio Buttercream Frosting
An exquisitely flavored and heavenly textured frosting--light, silky, buttery, and full of pistachio nuttiness. Perfection on a cake. Or a spoon. #pistachiofrosting #frenchbuttercream #pistachiobuttercream
Crust: To mix pistachios, add the end to the crust mixture and pulse a couple of times to mix.
Filling: Increase by 50%. Reduce sugar by 1/3. Add zest from 3 lemons (about 1 Tbsp). Medium chop pistachios that go into filling.
Dough can be in advance. Press into pan, cover and refrigerate. When ready, bake crust and proceed. Increase baking to 27 minutes.
Note: next time add the filling pistachios to the top of the curd after about 15 minutes of baking to retain crunchiness.
