Description
A light and fluffy dessert that combines the rich flavor of pistachios with a creamy three-milk soak for a showstopper dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs (room temp)
- ⅔ cup (133g) sugar
- Zest of half an orange
- 51 ml (3.5 Tbsp) milk
- ¼ cup (25g) ground & sifted roasted, unsalted pistachios
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 82 grams (about ½ cup) all-purpose flour
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ cup (125ml) evaporated milk
- ½ cup (120ml) sweetened condensed milk
- ¾ cup (177ml) whole milk
- ¼ cup pistachio cream (optional)
- Few drops of green food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup (236ml) whipping cream
- 2–3 Tbsp icing sugar, to taste
- Chopped pistachio & dried roses for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy—about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the orange zest and mix until fragrant.
- Slowly add in the milk, mixing just until combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the ground pistachios, baking powder, flour, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and pistachio cream. Whisk to combine.
- If using food coloring, add a few drops until the desired shade of green is reached.
- Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the surface and drizzle the milk mixture over it. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, add the whipping cream and icing sugar. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the top of the soaked cake and garnish with chopped pistachio and dried roses.
Notes
Optional to switch nuts or use coconut milk for a tropical twist.
