Salty, sweet and totally irresistible... Pistachios are nut to be overlooked when you’re in the mood for sugary food. Grab a pen and jot these on your to-chew list!

Pistachio tiramisu, Rome

If there’s one pud that can be a trifle indulgent, it’s tiramisu. But it’s a classic for good reason! This local twist adds the coffee-soaked sponge to pistachio-whipped cream and chocolate shavings for that after-dinner wow factor.

Pistachio croissant, Vienna

You may not associate croissants with Austria, yet they originate from here, so you’ll have a whirl in Vienna if you’re big on bakeries. Stuffed with a silky pistachio sauce, these pastry horns are crisp on the outside, gooey on the inside, and the ultimate elevenses snack.

Pistachio mille feuille, Budapest

A pioneer of puff pastry, the humble mille feuille is a stack of cream-piped deliciousness. And if you order one in Budapest, you’ll find them dusted with pistachio on top, and often with layers of fruit jam running through too.

Pistachio chimney cake, Prague

You don’t have to wander far to Czech out the chimney cakes. The crisp dough is spun and cooked around a rod and sprinkled with sugar. Extra crunch? That’s where rolling them in pistachios comes in. We’ll take two.

Pistachio macaron, Paris

Green very much means ‘go’ when you spy a cute patisserie selling diddy macarons in their candy shades. Go fully decadent and buy a box of vibrant pistachio-flavoured ones and enjoy the chewy chomp of these French fancies.

Pistachio baklava, Bodrum

Although there are all sorts of Turkish delight variations here, baklava wins the gold medal for Turkish desserts in the nutty department. Layered up with filo pastry strips, filled with chopped pistachios and oozing honey, it’s a lip-licker alright!
