Notes
Pistachios:
I use pistachio paste in this recipe as I find I can't get homemade pistachio paste smooth enough with my equipment at home and I ended up with gritty sauce. If you have a fine enough grinder at home and are happy with the smoothness by all means use your own pistachio paste.
Dairy free alternative:
For pistachio sauce without dairy try substituting the milk and cream with your preferred dairy-free alternative, such as coconut cream or plant-based cream alternatives. I have not tested the recipe with these alternatives.
