Ideas for Easter Dessert with Pistachios

Easter is almost here. What are you making for dessert for your feast? Still looking for ideas? Check out these scrumptious selections that incorporate pistachios.

Watergate Salad It’s not really salad…the only thing that could maybe qualify this as a salad is the color. Every family, every grandmother and every region of the country has a different name for it. In your house, maybe it’s called “Pistachio Delight” or “Pistachio Fluff.” It’s easy to make. And you won’t have to worry about storing leftovers, because there won’t be any left.

Strawberry – Pistachio Semifreddo A semifreddo isn’t quite ice cream, but it is a semi-frozen dessert with more of the consistency of a mousse. If you’re in the market for a light Easter dessert that is full of flavor from fresh strawberries and pistachios, this recipe comes highly recommended.

Pistachio Pie with Lemon Whipped Cream This Pistachio Pie has such an amazing flavor! It’s crunchy, creamy, nutty, zesty with an almost floral flavor. It’s paired amazingly with lemon cookie crust and slightly sweet lemon whipped cream. It’s sure to be a hit at your Easter table.

Get your pistachio kernels from Heart of the Desert for all of these recipes. You can even purchase the pistachio butter for the Pistachio Pie with Lemon Whipped Cream if you don’t feel like making your own.

Happy baking! Have a great Easter surrounded by family and friends!
