To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients for 4 servings:
For the Pistachio Custard:
- 2 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup of pistachio paste
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
For the Pistachio Crumble:
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of pistachios, chopped
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a saucepan, heat the milk, heavy cream, and sugar over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, pistachio paste, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
Pour the custard mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set.
While the custard is baking, make the pistachio crumble. In a bowl, mix the flour, chopped pistachios, and sugar. Add the chilled butter and use your fingers to rub it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Spread the crumble mixture onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Once the custard and crumble are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the pistachio crumble on top of the pistachio custard and serve immediately.
