Pistachio and White Chocolate Spread
Pistachios and white chocolate are a match made in heaven. We have created a decadent spread much like Nutella, but with these ingredients.
My recent European trip yielded so many foodie ideas and this is just one of them. I bought a jar of something like this in an amazing Italian gourmet foods store that was like a foodie Disneyland. Such a huge range of stunning foods with elegant packaging to die for. I could have spent a LOT of money, but luckily for me, the luggage weight is always an issue, so I restrained myself. This idea did make it home though and was promptly eaten a spoonful at a time on demand.
So we went to work and created our own version. I do love it. It is vibrantly pretty, would make an excellent gift and now we have to think of other ways to use it, even though I would happily eat it all, a spoonful at a time. Think of it as a sort of pistachio Nutella, with white chocolate instead of dark. Are you feeling it yet? I think it would be fantastic on croissants. Anyway. Watch this space. Recipes are coming! I feel confident.
