Thick Chewy Pistachio Crème Blondies

March 20, 2023 by deepika kalla in Bars + Brownies + Blondie

These chewy thick blondies are filled with rich deep brown butter notes, buttery green pistachio bits and a dreamy ribbon of pistachio crème. These blondies use pistachio oil to amplify the earthy notes of the pistachio and use brown butter to highlight the nuttiness and warmth of the pistachio flavor. These pistachio blondies are just loaded up with pure pistachio. The texture on these blondies is truly sublime. Best of all these are so simple to whip up. The hardest part is honestly just shelling those pistachios!

Chewy Soan Papdi Cardamom Cookies

October 21, 2022 by deepika kalla in Cookies

What is Soan Papdi? Soan Papdi, also known as patisa is this incredibly flaky, flossy, cotton candyesque Indian dessert that is made with ghee, gram flour, cardamom and sugar. The ingredients are humble but the texture on this dessert is unbelievable. I’m not a big Indian dessert fan but this dessert does it for me! It’s texture is unparalleled! Combining the soan papdi with a gram flour sugar cookie infused with saffron milk, pistachios and cardamom created a cookie that complemented the flavors of the soan papdi and served kind of like a vehicle for this delicious dessert (because soan papdi is a very very messy dessert!) It’s the perfect fusion of American and Indian flavors.
