- Can I use salted pistachios?
- Be careful! If using salted, wash the salt off and dry them, or don't add extra salt to the recipe. The salty-sweet contrast can be good.
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.
