Delicius Pistachio Tiramisu

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Pistachio Paste

1. Soak & peel the pistachios: Blanch shelled pistachios in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer to ice water. Remove skins for a vibrant green paste.
2. Grind: Add peeled pistachios and 2 tbsp sugar to a food processor. Blend until finely ground.

Step 2: Prepare Pistachio Cream

1. In a saucepan, whisk together milk, vanilla, and cornstarch. Add the ground pistachios.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (~5–7 minutes).
3. Let it cool completely, then fold in ½ cup whipped heavy cream. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Mascarpone Mixture

1. In a bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
3. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone until combined.

Step 4: Soak the Ladyfingers

1. Mix espresso (and optional sugar) in a shallow dish.
2. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee—don’t oversoak or they’ll fall apart.

Step 5: Assemble the Tiramisu

1. Layer 1: Arrange soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.
2. Layer 2: Spread half of the pistachio cream over the ladyfingers.
3. Layer 3: Add half of the mascarpone mixture.
4. Repeat layers once more. Smooth the top layer.

Step 6: Chill & Serve

• Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
• Before serving, top with crushed pistachios and chocolate shavings.
