No-bake chocolate-pistachio cake – notes
Easter holidays are approaching, so I’m testing new recipes that will be perfect for the festive table. Such a chocolate tart with pistachios can easily pass for a native mazurek – just in a more modern form. The cake itself is no-bake and can be made at the last minute, as it is also extremely simple and requires few ingredients. You must try it!
What ingredients are needed to prepare a chocolate tart with pistachios?
To make this dough, you’ll only need a handful of basic ingredients. Below, I’ve shared a concise list of the products I used, along with possible substitutions.
- cookies – for the tart base, I used chocolate sandwich cookies — in my case, Neo cookies from Lidl. You can just as easily use classic Oreo cookies or any other chocolate sandwich biscuits. Just remember to process them whole — cream filling included.
- chocolate -I used dark chocolate here — specifically Fin Carré chocolate from Lidl. Make sure to check the weight of your chocolate, as manufacturers often reduce the actual gram amount. If you have a serious sweet tooth, you can swap in milk chocolate instead. Just keep in mind that for the ganache, you’ll need to melt the chocolate in a smaller amount of heavy cream, since milk chocolate won’t set as firmly. In that case, use about 180 ml of cream.
- heavy cream – I used liquid whipping cream from a carton with 30% fat content, but you can also go for a 36% cream — the ganache will be thicker, and yes, a bit more indulgent calorie-wise!
- pistachio spread – I used pistachio cream from Lidl (the Maribel brand), and my jar was 190 g. You can use any pistachio spread you like — you’ll find similar ones at Biedronka as well. If your jar is slightly bigger, around 200 g, just use the whole thing to avoid wasting any leftovers.
- pistachio -In the recipe, the pistachio weight refers to shelled nuts only. You can buy pistachios already shelled at Lidl — I used unsalted ones, but salted pistachios will work just as well. In fact, that sweet-and-salty combo is delicious and gives the tart a really nice character.
How to store a chocolate and pistachio tart?
The tart is best stored in the fridge, but it can easily sit out for a few hours without any issues. Personally, I think it tastes even better slightly warmed — it softens a bit and practically melts in your mouth.
You can also freeze the tart for up to about 3 months.
How many calories does a chocolate and pistachio tart have?
In the table under the recipe, I’ve listed the calorie count per 100 g based on the ingredients I used. If you cut the tart into roughly 12 equal slices, each piece will have about 387 kcal (carbs – 34 g, fats – 26 g, protein – 5 g).
I hope this incredibly delicious chocolate and pistachio cake makes its way onto your table too. If it does, I’d be thrilled if you shared your thoughts with others in the comments under the recipe.
P.S. I also highly recommend following my Instagram profile, where you’ll find more of my recipes — and it’s super easy to save them there for later.
