If you want it ultra-smooth, use a wet grinder or melanger. I use the Premier Melanger for nut and seed butters, and it only takes a couple hours to get them as smooth as any commercial product out there. It also has the added benefit of intensifying the flavor, since virtually all of the flavorful compounds are released during the grinding process.

[@ShineeD]

Ah, how cool. Thank you so much for sharing this info!!.

[@roboslug7582]

@saeedalsaeed227 A couple hours

[@sedoniadragotta8323]

Tip add lemon juice instead of water . Lemon enhances the pistachio and its flavour.

What is Shinee's ethnic background? Her accent is unique

[@MarvelousMoony]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm gonna make a nice milkshake with this! 😃

[@ShineeD]

Milkshake with pistachio paste sounds amazing!

[@Inkerella110]

What a game changer! Thank you!

[@ShineeD]

Right? Glad you liked it!

Good Evening: I am going to make this paste tonight. I plan to use some of this for gelato I am going to try to make for the first time in a few days. It’s seems as If I need to add more water to that so it can blended with the gelato custard. I do not want to add green food coloring. Will this paste make the gelato green?

[@ShineeD]

I doubt it. It'll probably add very light green tint.

[@rachelrichard8440]

Hello, when using this paste for macarons do you tend to add sugar or leave it the way it is? :)

[@ShineeD]

I don't add sugar. But I typically add this pistachio paste into sweet buttercream fillings, so I never needed more sugar.

[@terrihart2133]

How tedious to peel them.

[@furryplantsandcoins9070]

That's what I thought too I don't think I'll end up peeling them. Yeah I'll get the specs in mine but I don't care. Standing there for half an hour just peeling them sounds just horrifying to me.. or use it bigger strainer that has bigger holes so the peels slide out of the holes instead of the one she's using.

[@indhirayudianifa1372]

can we add sugar?

[@ShineeD]

Absolutely!

[@KS1618]

Trader Joe’s sells raw pistachios without the skins on. Save you a ton of time.

[@LadyJEsq]

Thanks for the tip! Another reason for me to hit Trader Joe's.

[@mustaphaaffan7643]

Still looks little brown!

[@aaaaaaxaaaaaa]

That color doesn't look anything like your thumbnail though? Clickbait

[@vegeking3840]

I think real color of this in the video same to left one on thumbnail. Not like right one. You used photoshop ;(

[@ShineeD]

Hehe I wish I had that level of photoshop skills! But I’ll be honest, neither photo on the thumbnail is of the pistachio paste I made in the video. I mentioned in the video that pistachios I’ve used in that video definitely produced darker green paste than with other raw pistachio brand. But I can assure you it wasn’t as brown as the pistachio paste made with roasted pistachios. Lighting plays a huge role in color cast in videos, and things look darker in my videos than they’re in real life. (I’m still learning with filming.)

@@vegeking3840 You didn’t waste my time! I appreciate your feedback and wanted to give you a bit of behind the scene look.

[@Sweetsbyamani]

I love this method it's simple, quick, and easy! I like to add this paste to my white chocolate ganache as a filling for macarons/cakes. Thank you so much!

[@ShineeD]

Yes, it's so good in white chocolate ganache!! Thanks for your feedback!

[@globalman2]

I try to avoid using a food processor because it heats up the food and changes its taste. It is always better to do this by hand with a mortar and pestle. When you do it by hand u probably wont need to add water. Try adding pistachio oil instead of water.

[@smellypatel5272]

Until I see a scientific article proving this idk if I can believe that. I am inclined to trust you

[@fathima737]

@@smellypatel5272it makes sense though.

[@fathima737]

You don’t actually need liquid. There’s oils within the pistachios. They release after you blend them for a bit.

[@nastyt.1017]

No, don't do that.

[@LadyJEsq]

I believe this to be correct. During the pandemic, I created a rolls recipe in my food processor. After working the recipe for so long and finally coming up with a finished product that was amazing making the rolls was my therapy. My family and friends loved them so I made over a hundred batches in my food processor. I finally decided to get a mixer and use the bread attachment to make this recipe I made a hundred times before and it came out slightly different. The rolls were still good they simply weren't as soft and I then realized that it was the fact that the dough was not hot when I used the mixer. If you do it in a mortar and pestle then you won't have to worry about making too much that'll spoil, because that's a lot of work! LOL

[@jennycwy]

maybe you can put it in the water again after roll in the towel, and the skin should be supposed to float???and it may save you 25 mins

[@ShineeD]

Meh, I don't think it works like that.

[@mizzpoetrics]

How can you say "meh" when you haven't tried it? That seems close minded....

[@PabloPernambuco]

In the last day God created the pistachios....Thanks for your recipe!

[@shenazrahman5412]

Thank you so much for all the helpful tips Shinee. This looks delicious, I can’t wait to make it. I have just ordered the pistachios via amazon. Do you have the white chocolate pistachio mousse recipe, or would you be sharing that? Thank you again 💞 much love from the UK 💗

[@ShineeD]

Hi, Shenaz! So happy you found my video helpful. Here's the recipe for white chocolate pistachio mousse, but I don't have a video for it. www.sweetandsavorybyshinee.com/pistachio-eclairs/

[@shenazrahman5412]

Thank you so so much. You are amazing 💕🥰

[@jleeland5393]

Cool idea thanks!! What music is on in background? It's so nice

[@ShineeD]

Thanks! Not sure about what is the music. My video editor is in charge of it.

[@sfax]

Interesting, what happens if you roast them before grinding them?

[@ShineeD]

You'll get more flavor from roasting the nuts, but it may darken the color.

[@prncess20]

I have been looking for raw, u roasted, unsalted pistachios and NO ONE carries them.

[@ShineeD]

Bummer. And I can totally relate, as I live in the middle of nowhere. I get mine online (amazon, to be specific). I linked the brand I love in the description, if you're interested.

[@prncess20]

@@ShineeD I've made your basic macarons 3 times already. Came out beautiful. Wanted to try something a little more advanced lol

[@eddejager2007]

Aldi and Lidl have them

[@josechalho6003]

👍❤️🙏🏻

[@1985Cohen]

is putting it in the water make the pistachios softer to grind in the food processor?

[@monaso1984]

don't you put the pistachios in the oven to dry before you put them in the food processor? and can you use this paste to prepare ice cream?

[@ShineeD]

You could roast pistachios in the oven, but I don't to get brighter green paste. And yes, you can definitely use this paste for ice cream!

[@tt.raspberrysweets]

Thankyou so much for sharing your amazing experience !! 😍😍

Thanks very much. It looks great.

[@gabycamposdoceria]

Qual durabilidade da pasta?

[@mantisbiker2537]

Very detailed. Thank you. How to store it and for how long does it keep? How can you tell when it goes bad?

[@t.tthegreat6319]

If you make too much just freeze it. I piped mine out into silicone moulds at about 5grams each. Froze it then demoulded and put in a bag with the weight and date.

[@bhawanabothra9141]

Hi can I use salted raw pistachios n soak in warm water n clean it n then make paste

[@ShineeD]

Yes, you can.

Okay - you've completely opened a whole new world to me Shinee....my dad and husband love pistachios so much, I now HAVE to make this and put it in a cake, or just on a croissant. SO cool! GREAT tips. 😍😘🎨

[@ShineeD]

This's pistachio lover's dream, Ingrid! They'll love you more if you make this for them. ;) Thank you for watching!!

[@sdstar5184]

How long is the shell life of the paste stay in fridge or room temperature ?

[@ShineeD]

It'll be good in the fridge for up 1 week. And you can freeze for up to 3 months. I wouldn't store at room temperature.

[@MehrunnishaMehza]

Can u we use fr white chocolate ganache??

[@ShineeD]

Yes, absolutely!

[@jcfm1629]

The final product was brown. Clickbait. Down voted.

[@ShineeD]

Bummer you feel spammed. That's not my intention. The final pistachio paste was NOT brown, but it was darker green. And in the video it does look darker than it was due to lighting. But you can see the true color in the intro clip where I stirred the paste in a white bowl (it was right by the window, so it showed the true color.) Thanks for your feedback though!

[@avril.m.l]

You sound like an entitled troll, if you watched the video you can see it's a deeper green not brown and that's because of the brand of pistachio she used and she even specified which one you can get to get a brighter pistachio paste
