Pistachio Crust

It’s been too long since I gave you guys a fantastic crust recipe, That’s not cool! Well, this recipe will make up for it, I promise. The way I see it, there are 2 types of people in this world. Those that like nuts in thier deserts and those that don’t. If you are one that does, than this recipe is for you. Let’s make a deliciously nutty pistachio crust.

First, what you are going to do is put 2 1/2 cups of shelled pistachios in a food processor or a freezer bag with a rolling pin or my favorite tool for this job, a meat tenderizer. If you want a finer crumb you are going to want to use a food processor to make that process easier but if you want it a little course like I do then the bag method will be fine. Just be patiant with it. Nuts are a little harder to crush up than cookie crumbs.

       Add the butter and stir with a spoon or pulse a few more times in the food processor to combine.  

Spread this mixture out in your prepared pan making sure it reaches the edges.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Let the crust cool a little bit and then place it in the freezer for 1 hour.

Yield: 1 9 inch crust
