Premium Pistachios on Every the dessert

The crown of any great our sweet is the nut on top. We use whole roasted pistachios, lightly crushed by hand, so each this cake piece has a vivid green centre that pops against the golden cake. That tradition of finishing the dessert with pistachios traces back to Syrian Lebanese pastry shops in Damascus, Aleppo, and Beirut.
