How to Make Pistachio Buttercream Frosting – Extra Creamy! Back to Cake Basics
The rich custard flavor of French buttercream gives this pistachio frosting a gelato-like quality that's hard to resist with a hint of toasted sugar caramel and a splash of liqueur for an extra note (we love how the spices in Cardamaro bring out the grassy flavor of the pistachio while Maraschino can bring out its fruity/nutty side but even rum will work in a pinch).
Homemade pistachio paste will give this frosting the best color consistency and flavor especially if made with Sicilian pistachios. Be careful when working with commercial pastes as they can vary significantly from brand to brand due to varying ratios of added sugar and oil.
