Equipment

  • heatproof bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Cookie scoop or spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz white chocolate finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoon pistachio paste either homemade or storebought
  • 0.5 cup unsalted pistachios ground finely

Instructions
 

  • Place your finely chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, place your heavy cream and pistachio paste. Cook this over medium heat until simmering, stirring occasionally.
  • Allow the mixture to continue simmering for about 2 minutes. Keep stirring regularly and avoid bringing it to a boil.
  • Pour the heated cream mixture over the white chocolate, ensuring it covers all of the chocolate. Let this sit for 2 minutes.
  • After 2 minutes, stir through until smooth. You should now have a thick pistachio ganache.
  • Set this pistachio ganache in the refrigerator for an hour or two to set more firm.
  • Once the ganache has firmed up, place your ground pistachios on a plate or bowl.
  • Scoop the pistachio ganache using a small cookie scoop or spoon. Roll each scoop gently between your palms to form a ball and then roll each ball in the ground pistachios to coat.
  • Repeat until finished with the ganache.

Notes

If the chocolate doesn't melt smoothly, use a microwave or a DIY bain-marie to finish the melting.
