The Inspiration: Dubai Chocolate & Pistachio Flavors – Dubai is known for its high-end, gourmet chocolates often featuring a blend of rich cocoa, dates and nuts. To make these even more decadent, dollop or drizzle on some melted chocolate on the finished cookies so they look a million dollars.

Pistachios, in particular, are a signature ingredient in many middle eastern sweets, adding both texture and an earthy, slightly sweet flavor. They add a nutty depth and a beautiful green color, making every bite taste like a luxurious treat from a middle eastern chocolate shop.

These no bake cookie roll takes its inspiration from those flavors, combining high-quality cocoa, nut butter, and dates to create a dessert that feels both indulgent and wholesome. We know that nuts like walnuts and almonds make a great healthy afternoon snack. But if variety is the spice of life, it might be time to consider adding other nuts to your list, like pistachios.

Pistachio butter is included in the ingredient list. Its quite expensive to buy but you can make it yourself much cheaper. A homemade recipe is below in notes and you can use it like any nut butter, on toast or drizzle on top of smoothies or smoothie bowls and so on.

But are pistachios good for you? Yes! Pistachios can pack a powerful punch for your health. That’s because these little green gems are a great source of nutrition and are brimming with vitamins and nutrients. Pistachios are a very good source of protein too, with about 6 grams per ounce.

Being full of nutrients is just one of the pistachio nut benefits. Pistachios include vitamin B6, which promotes blood flow by helping carry oxygen through your bloodstream to cells. Vitamin B6 also promotes immune and nervous system health.

They contain a decent amount of potassium, too. In fact, a single serving of pistachios has more potassium than half a banana. So all in all, these gorgeous nuts are health superstars.

Notes

Homemade Pistachio Butter

Toast the pistachios: Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Place the raw shelled pistachios on a baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes. You want the nuts to heat up but not brown. Remove the tray from the oven and add the pistachios to a high-speed blender while warm (this will help them release their oils).

Blend on low speed for a couple of minutes. First, they will turn into a coarse pistachio meal, and then the mixture will start to form a nut butter consistency.

Scrape down the edges of the blender every so often and continue to blend for 5-7 minutes. The mixture will look like a thick pistachio paste and eventually it will turn into a runny nut butter consistency.

Storage: Transfer the pistachio butter to a storage jar with an airtight lid. It will keep at room temperature in a dark place for up to a week, or refrigerated for up to a month.
