A refreshing and creamy dessert bar made with pistachios, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups shelled pistachios
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp rose water (optional)
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream (folded in)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for topping)
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
  • Chopped pistachios (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter and brown sugar. Press firmly into the base of a lined 8×8-inch pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool.
  2. Blend pistachios and milk until smooth. Pour into a saucepan, add condensed milk and cornstarch. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and rose water. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Fold whipped cream gently into the cooled pistachio mixture. Spread over the crust. Chill for at least 2 hours until firm.
  4. Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread over the pistachio layer.
  5. Sprinkle toasted coconut and chopped pistachios on top. Chill 1 more hour before slicing.

Notes

  • Use unsalted, raw pistachios for best flavor and color.
  • Rose water adds a floral Middle Eastern twist—optional but magical.
  • Store covered in the fridge up to 4 days for perfect texture.
