Soft Pistachio Turron Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup honey
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 4 egg whites
• 2 cups shelled pistachios, toasted and roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
2. In a saucepan, cook the honey, sugar, and water over medium heat until it reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.
3. Add the pistachios and cornstarch to the saucepan and stir to combine.
4. Fold the egg whites into the pistachio mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch dish and let cool to room temperature. (The turron should be soft and chewy in texture, not hard like traditional turron.)
6. Once cooled, cut the turron into small squares and serve.

Verdict

This soft pistachio turron is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet honey, crunchy pistachios, and chewy texture make it a crowd-pleaser.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the turron as a standalone dessert or as a garnish for other desserts, like ice cream or pudding. Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra burst of flavor.
