Pistachio ganache is a simple and delicious cream to prepare as an alternative to the classic chocolate ganache , ready with only 3 ingredients : white chocolate, liquid cream and pistachio paste, ideal for filling cakes and desserts, especially cupcakes or macarons , but you can use it however you like.

To make it, we blended the chopped white chocolate with the pistachio paste , before adding the liquid cream brought to the boil and continuing to emulsify until obtaining a smooth cream. The mixture will then be poured into a container, covered with film and left to rest in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours . Once the necessary time has passed, just blend everything, so as to obtain a soft and frothy pistachio ganache, ready to use to decorate your desserts.

Here’s how to prepare it with our Melissa in a really simple way and delight your guests with a soft and irresistible cream.

If you are looking for other delicious ganaches, try the strawberry , coconut  or exotic ones . Also try the caramel and coffee ganaches , to satisfy all tastes.
