Ingredients to make pistachio fondants
Here, ready-made pistachio paste is used: it is easily found in organic stores or in the pastry section of supermarkets. Otherwise, you can also prepare it yourself. To do this, there’s nothing rocket science: simply roast 200 g of pistachios at 150°C for 30 minutes, then mix everything with two tablespoons of neutral oil for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the power of the mixer) until you obtain a smooth paste, says the pastry chef. Here are the quantities needed to make 6 fondants.
- 200g white chocolate
- 200 g pistachio paste without added sugar
- 100g melted butter
- 75 g of sugar
- 4 whole eggs
- 125 g of flour
