I like to drizzle it over chocolate or vanilla ice cream, spread it on toast or croissants, or mix it into mascarpone for a decadent dessert dip for fresh strawberries. It\u2019s also a quick flavor enhancer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttercream-frosting\/\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Dubai chocolate\"99 data-name=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttercream-frosting\/\" data-module=\"embedded link\" data-position data-placement=\"post body\">buttercream frosting<\/a> or as a filling for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/french-macarons\/\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"tiramisu variations\"00 data-name=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/french-macarons\/\" data-module=\"embedded link\" data-position data-placement=\"post body\">macarons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a whole jar of pistachio cream, I recommend using it to make chocolate-pistachio cupcakes, crepes, cheesecake bars, chocolate cake and Dubai chocolate Rice Krispies. These recipes all use 1 cup or more of pistachio cream. If the jar is about half full, you\u2019ll have enough to make our pistachio tiramisu, cannoli pie or Dubai chocolate strawberry parfaits. With just a measly 2 tablespoons left in your jar, whip up our Dubai chocolate latte.<\/p>\n<h3>Does pistachio cream have to be refrigerated?<\/h3>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t opened the jar of pistachio cream yet, it does not need to be refrigerated. However, you should stash it in the fridge after opening. Let it sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes before using it so it softens to a spreadable consistency.<\/p>\n<p>For homemade pistachio cream, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It contains dairy, and you most likely didn\u2019t add any preservatives to make it shelf-stable.<\/p>\n<h3>What flavors go well with pistachio cream?<\/h3>\n<p>Pistachio cream pairs well with other decadent, sweet ingredients, most notably chocolate. This duo kicked off the Dubai chocolate trend, which first launched pistachio cream into the American mainstream. Besides chocolate, pistachio cream is lovely with citrus fruits, creamy ingredients like mascarpone or pastry cream, and fruits like strawberries and raspberries.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-pistachio-cream\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recipes My favorite ingredient isn\u2019t the jar of saffron, the olive oil from Italy, nor the four-ingredient oat milk I use every day.
