Chocolate Covered Pistachio Pound Cake

Your favorite snack turned pound cake in this Chocolate Covered Pistachio Pound Cake recipe.

Want to skip my chatter and head straight to the recipe? You’ll find here on the Dixie Crystals site.

Chocolate Covered Pistachio Pound Cake

Around this time last year, I attended the PMA (Produce Marketing Association) conference in New Orleans. It was insane and overwhelming the amount of produce vendors representing all corners of the world. Seriously, world. Avocados from Mexico? There. Dragon fruit from Chile? Also, there.

I met with a pistachio farm while there with the most delicious chocolate covered pistachios. I’ve been a fan ever since.

When making this from scratch Chocolate Covered Pistachio Pound Cake, I could’ve simply chopped those chocolate dipped pistachios for my crust, but I was worried it wouldn’t have as strong a chocolate presence as I wanted.

Chocolate Covered Pistachio Pound Cake

Also, most of the pistachio pound cake recipes you’ll find use pistachio pudding. I skipped that, too. Something about the green color bugs me. I’m the same way with pistachio pudding salad and that’s not nearly as….green.

Anyway, you’ll find a from scratch pistachio pound cake recipe, coated with chocolate ganache and then topped with roasted pistachios on the Dixie Crystals website. It is seriously how you’ll want to start every Monday from here until eternity.

Not too sweet. A bit nutty. A bit chocolately. Insanely delicious.

It’s amazing what a bit of time baking on the weekend means for kick-starting your week on a high note.

Hope your week is equally delicious!

I'm not even going to complain about how cold it h I'm not even going to complain about how cold it has been in Louisiana when friends are having it so bad in Texas, but y'all... I had to pull out and dust off my Alaskan cruise clothes when we lost power earlier in the week. πŸ₯Ά We just aren't equipped down here. I've had ALL THE SOUPS on rotation including this Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle that has been on the blog forever, but got some new photos. Because if you're gonna be iced in, might as well photograph & update your recipes! I hope you are staying WARM where you are. πŸ₯£ πŸ” πŸ₯£

Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since it's been so long since I've been able to enjoy a good ole’ Olive Garden soup, salad & breadsticks combo, I took matters into my own hands and recreated the experience at home complete with Pasta e Fagioli. πŸ₯£ Side note: Did y'all know they sell their OG salad dressing at the grocery?! 😳 Since I'm also attempting to do better with meal prepping and make ahead meals this new year, I'm freezing half for the next time I have a craving I can't control...or the temps in Louisiana drop without warning. WINNING. πŸ™ŒπŸ₯£
