Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pistachio cream with milk, blending until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  3. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with milk and spread half of the pistachio cream across it. Refrigerate to meld flavors.
  4. In a bowl, beat together egg and granulated sugar until frothy. Fold in heavy cream and mascarpone until creamy.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the pistachio cream on the chilled cake layer.
  6. Add the second cake layer on top. Repeat layering process with milk, pistachio cream, and remaining mascarpone filling.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle the top with chopped pistachios. Slice into portions and serve chilled.
