Prepare the cashews: Either simmer the cashews in water for 30 minutes and leave to cool, or soak them in cold water overnight.
Mix: Process the soaked cashews together with the pistachio cream, cream cheese and Greek yogurt in a blender until you get a smooth cream.
Fill: Spread the pistachio-cashew filling evenly over the prepared cake base. Tap the mold lightly on the work surface to remove any air bubbles. Then leave to set in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or alternatively chill in the freezer for 2 hours.
4. The ganache:
Melt the chocolate: Melt the white chocolate together with the double cream in a water bath. Stir occasionally until you get a smooth, silky consistency. Mixing: Mix the melted ganache with about 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared pistachio cream to achieve an even color and texture.
Applying: Spread the ganache on the chilled cake and smooth it out with a spatula.
5. Decoration:
Draw circles: Use a wooden stick to draw decorative circles or patterns on the surface. This works particularly well with a turntable to achieve an even result.
Topping: Finally, sprinkle the cake with chopped pistachios to create a crunchy contrast to the creamy consistency.
Serving and enjoying:
This luxurious pistachio cashew cake should be served well chilled. It is perfect as a dessert for a festive occasion or as a highlight for an afternoon with coffee.
Tips:
Variations:
For a more intense flavor, you can increase the amount of pistachios or replace some of the pistachios with almonds.
Soaked macadamia nuts can also be used instead of cashews.
Storage:
The cake will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. Leftovers can also be frozen and thawed at room temperature before consumption.
Extras:
For even more color and flavor, you can garnish the cake with fresh berries or a touch of pistachio oil.
Conclusion:
This pistachio cashew cake is not only a visual eye-catcher, but also a taste highlight. The combination of nutty flavors, creamy textures and the sweet note of white chocolate makes it a real masterpiece. Try this recipe and spoil yourself and your loved ones! 😊
