This recipe transforms pistachios into a creamy, sweetened paste that blends into a silky texture. Matcha, though not always our go-to ingredient, complements the pistachio perfectly and adds a vibrant green hue without any artificial colors. We used an ice cube tray for mini bites, but it works just as well in a larger tray cut into squares.

Ingredients
Chocolate Layer
300gDark chocolateapprox. 1.75 cups
Pistachio Cream Layer
150gshelled pistachio nuts1 cup
1tbspmatcha powder
2tbspcoconut oil
3tbspmaple syrup
1tspvanilla extract
Instructions
Melt Chocolate, layer into mould and freeze
Chop the chocolate into small pieces and melt using a bain marie or microwave. Divide into two bowls. Take half of the melted chocolate and divide between all the squares in the mould. You want to fill each square with chocolate and use a small spoon to brush the chocolate up the sides a little so they form little cups. Put the chocolate filled moulds into the freezer so the chocolate hardens for 15 mins.
Make pistachio layer and layer on
Add the shelled pistachio nuts to a food processor along with the coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract and blend till it forms a silky smooth pistachio butter. This will take a few mins and if your food processor is heating up give it a little break.
Once the chocolate is set, remove from the freezer and spoon the pistachio butter onto each square.
Cover with melted chocolate and cool to set
Pour the additional melted chocolate over the pistachio layer, spreading evenly for a smooth layer. Put in the fridge to set for 30 mins before removing each square and enjoying!
Notes
If you don’t have a silicone mould , you can use a regular baking tray and cut them into squares.
