Alternate title: Oh my god this took so long! A little backstory - Gretchen found a recipe for pistachio paste and pistachio rolls and we thought we'd tackle the paste part first since it seemed somewhat manageable - or so we thought. With relatively few steps, we did not anticipate spending almost four hours working on this item. Our fingers may never be the same again after blanching so many precious pistachios but our spirits are soaring because this paste is delicious!! G also shows Becca how to make eggless mousse which we top with our freshly pulverized nuts.
