Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.

  2. In a food processor, pulse the shelled pistachios until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you want a slightly coarse texture for added crunch.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios, granulated sugar, flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

  4. Melt the unsalted butter and stir in the vanilla extract. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a crumbly dough forms.

  5. Press half of the dough into the bottom of the greased baking dish, forming an even layer.

  6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

  7. Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle the remaining dough over the top as a crumbly topping. Press lightly to adhere.

  8. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the dish before cutting into squares or diamond shapes.

  10. Before serving, dust the Pistachio dessert with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
