    Pistachios are "having a moment" in the recipe world right now, and rightly so if you ask me! Elegant, delicious, and almost magical looking, pistachios are one of my favorite ways to brighten up any dessert. If you're looking for some interesting and wholesome vegan pistachio-themed sweets, you've arrived at the right place.

    Below you'll find a collection of recipes that rely on the lovely bright flavor and color of pistachio. From cakes, to cookies, tarts, pudding, ice cream, mylk, and more. Hopefully something for everyone looking for vegan and gluten-free pistachio dessert recipes.
