Luxurious Pistachio Parfait

Pistachio is known as 'green gold', and for good reason: its unique, oily, salty-sweet flavour profile is unmistakable. In this parfait, pistachio dominates, embraced by the creaminess of condensed milk. The intensity of colour and flavour depends on the quality of the pistachio, so it's worth choosing good quality, unsalted kernels.

Can I use salted pistachios?
