- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar for crumble

Instructions
Prepare the pistachio paste
- Blend pistachios in a food processor until fine. Add two tablespoons cream and blend again until smooth pistachio paste forms.
Make the pistachio cream
- In a bowl, whisk mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla and pistachio paste until smooth and creamy texture forms.
Whip the heavy cream
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip or the texture will become grainy.
Combine the cream mixture
- Fold whipped cream gently into the pistachio mixture using a spatula. Mix slowly to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
Prepare the cocoa crumble
- In a bowl, mix crushed biscuits, cocoa powder, sugar and melted butter. Stir until crumbly texture forms evenly.
Toast the crumble
- Spread crumble on parchment-lined tray. Toast in oven for about ten minutes until crispy and fragrant. Let cool completely.
Layer the dessert
- Add a layer of pistachio cream into serving glasses. Sprinkle cocoa crumble evenly over the cream layer.
Repeat the layers
- Add another layer of pistachio cream and top with more cocoa crumble for a beautiful layered dessert look.
Chill before serving
- Place the dessert glasses in refrigerator for at least thirty minutes. This helps the flavors blend perfectly.
Garnish and serve
- Top with crushed pistachios before serving. Enjoy the creamy pistachio dessert with crunchy cocoa crumble.
Notes
- Use roasted pistachios for stronger nutty flavor.
- Add a little honey instead of sugar for natural sweetness.
- Mix dark chocolate chips into the crumble for extra chocolate taste.
- Replace biscuits with crushed chocolate cookies for deeper cocoa flavor.
- Chill longer for thicker and more stable dessert layers.
