Strawberry & Pistachio Layered Dessert


You and your crowd will absolutely love this show stopper of a dessert. Inspired by a strawberry and pistachio macaron , this dessert is easy and can be prepared a day in advance.


This recipe yields a large tray, enough to serve 20 people .You can multiply or divide the recipe as per needed.


*I had fresh ground roasted pistachio paste on hand, you can grind 1/2 a cup of pistachio until paste like in a coffee grinder or a bullet.


I have also used store bought pound cake to make it easier.


You will need:

  • 1 and a half store bought pound cakes

  • 2 cups Fresh or frozen strawberries

  • 1 can condensed milk

  • 4 cups of heavy whipping cream

  • 1/2 cup of finely ground pistachios*

  • Vanilla extract

  • 3/4 confectioners sugar

  • Fresh Strawberries for garnish

Directions:

  1. Choose your platter/deep dish, and cut the pound cakes into 1 inch thick slices. Layer in the dish.

  2. Blend together strawberries with the can of condensed milk in a blender until well combined.

  3. Pour half of the mixture evenly over the pound cake.

  4. In a stand mixer ( you can use a hand mixer also) add heavy cream, powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until fluffy or soft peaks are formed.

  5. With the help of a spatula , layer half of the whipped cream. And repeat with another layer of pound cake and strawberry mixture.

  6. For the top layer of the whipped cream , add in the ground pistachios and give it a good mix. Transfer into a piping bag and layer on top of the dessert.

  7. Garnish with freshly sliced strawberries or if you're preparing in advance, garnish with strawberries when about to serve.Enjoy!!
