Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup pistachio butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the heavy cream, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and pistachio butter to a blender.
- Blend until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
- Store the pistachio creamer in a jar, and when you're ready to enjoy, simply add to your iced coffee, hot coffee, or espresso. Top your drink with homemade whipped cream and chopped pistachios (if you'd like), and enjoy!
Notes
- Swap the milks - we chose part heavy cream and part whole milk for this recipe, but you can truly use whatever you have on hand. All half and half would work, as would part heavy cream and part skim milk.
- Make your own pistachio butter - if you can't find pistachio butter (or don't want to wait for an online order to arrive), feel free to make your own! Simply blend a half cup of shelled pistachios until soft - this will take a few minutes and will go through stages (first crumbly, then sand-like, and, finally, buttery). If, after 5 minutes of blending, the pistachios have still not reached the "buttery" stage, stop the blender and add in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and then continue blending until the pistachio butter forms.
- Adjust the sweetness - use more or less maple syrup to sweeten the creamer to your liking!
- Make it dairy-free - swap both the whole milk and heavy cream for canned coconut milk or a dairy-free heavy cream (or half and half) substitute. Califia Farms, Nutpods, and Silk all have their own versions that look to be really yummy!
- Make it grain-free - this recipe is grain-free as is!
- Make it gluten-free - this recipe is also gluten-free as written.
