pistachio butter bars

Ingredients:

Base:

  • 1 ½ cup Bob’s Red Mill GF flour
  • 100g grass-fed butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Filling:

  • 250g Noya pistachio butter
  • ¼ cup 2Die4 Live Foods organic activated pistachios
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

Coating:

  • 80g Pico Super Dark
  • 80g Pico Original Milk
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Sea salt
  • Crushed pistachios
  • Edible flowers (optional)
Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Set aside a silicone loaf tray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all base ingredients well. Press into loaf tray using the back of a spoon or your fingers and level mixture out as much as you can.
  3. Bake in oven for 20-minutes or until slightly golden on top. Leave in tray and set aside to cool.
  4. Once cooled, in a medium bowl combine pistachio butter with honey or maple syrup. Pour over biscuit base and smooth over with spoon. Evenly distribute activated pistachios over your nut butter mixture and press them in to create a reasonably flat surface. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over top. Place in freezer until nut butter is firm (approx. 2 hours).
  5. Once firm, gently peel away silicone tray and slice bars into desired size. I chose to do 8 large rectangle bars, but you may like to make 16 smaller ones.
  6. In a medium bowl, break up milk and dark chocolate and add coconut oil. Melt chocolate mixture over a double boiler.
  7. Dip frozen bars into chocolate until coated on all sides. You may like to decorate them with an extra chocolate drizzle, sea salt flakes, crushed nuts or edible flowers as shown. Place in the fridge until set and enjoy!
  8. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
