Tips and Notes:
- Pistachio Options: Freshly roasted pistachios will give the best flavor. If you’re in a pinch, roasted pistachio powder works too!
- Chocolate Quality: Don’t skimp on the chocolate; use high-quality chocolate bars or chips for the best results.
- Texture Preferences: For a smoother cream, blend the pistachios finely. If you love a bit of crunch, pulse them less and keep some texture.
