How to Make It

Let’s get started on this delightful drink!

Make Pistachio Cream

Blend the pistachios, melted white chocolate, olive oil, and pistachio cream in a food processor until smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes; scrape down the sides as needed to ensure an even consistency.

Make Pistachio Cold Foam

In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, and sweetener until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes; don’t over-whisk, or you’ll end up with butter.

Make Iced Latte

In a glass, combine the espresso shots, vanilla syrup, and ice. Pour in the milk and stir gently. Top with the prepared pistachio cold foam and sprinkle with chopped pistachios for garnish.

How to Store It

• Fridge: Store pistachio cream in an airtight container for up to one week.
• Freezer: No, cream separates when frozen.
• Reheat: Not applicable; serve chilled.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure your pistachios are shelled and skinned for the best flavor.
