12 Vegan Pistachio Recipes
These vegan pistachio recipes are perfect for all nut lovers! Whether you’re looking for a healthy treat, party snack or decadent sharing dessert, you’ll find the perfect recipe here!
I don’t know about you, but I feel like pistachios don’t get enough love! There are plenty of foods and recipes with almond, peanut or even cashews, but it’s a lot rarer to see pistachio flavoured items, with the exception of ice cream.
In honour of National Pistachio Day on 23rd February, I decided to create this round up of the best vegan pistachio recipes. I’ve used the help of 11 other food bloggers to create this post, so make sure to check out their blogs and show their recipes some love. And if you make any of the recipes at home, be sure to let us know. Enjoy!
