Pistachio White Cream

Pistachio nuts blanched briefly to strip skins, then blended with a touch of cream to coax out nutty oils. White chocolate slowly melted into butter and cream, merging with powdered sugar and salt for balance. Pulsed together with the nut paste. Chilled for a rich, creamy texture. Swapped 1 cup pistachios to 1 cup blanched almonds for nutty depth plus a fresh basil leaf for subtle herbaceousness. Reduced cream slightly, increased butter for silkiness. Steps reordered to streamline workflow and prevent over-processing. Pulse don't puree harshly. Skins stripped to avoid bitter flecks and dull color. Timing adjusted to catch sound and aroma cues for doneness. Serves about a dozen spoonfuls.
