Pistachio powder is my new, favorite food find! It is finely ground pistachio powder that blends into all kinds of recipes. This was the first way I used it. This pistachio whipped cream is new and different and completely unexpected. It is fabulous as a frosting, filling or as a topping on your coffee! I’ve also used it on my ice cream sundaes for a fun twist. I recently had it on my Ice Cream Sundae Station during a party… the guests went wild for it. The possibilities for it’s use are endless. Check out my Vanilla Cupcakes with Raspberry Filling and Pistachio Whipped Cream (this is awesome) or my Chocolate Dipped Pistachio Macaroons.
Tips for making the perfect whipped cream
A couple of tips for making this the best pistachio whipped cream ever.
. Chill the bowl of the stand mixer (if using) and the beaters for 10 minutes in the refrigerator before whipping the cream. This will speed up the whip time and make the whipped cream lite and airy. Alternatively, use a hand mixer and chill the betters and bowl you’ll be using.
. Once whipped, taste your cream. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar. Even nuttier? Add a little more pistachio powder or you can also add 1/2 tsp. almond extract to get that “nut” flavor enhanced.
. This whipped cream will hold in the refrigerator for a couple of hours so feel free to whip it up before needed.
How to make pistachio whipped cream
Making this whipped cream couldn’t be easier. Once your bowl and beaters are chilled, add the cold heavy cream to the bowl and start beating on low speed. This will prevent it from splattering. Add in the sugar, then the pistachio powder and gradually increase speed. Continue beating until you get fluffy stiff peaks (or soft gently peaks – your choice).
Taste and adjust flavor by adding more sugar if needed. This is your whipped cream, so make it your own. Enjoy.
