Ingredients

Scale

Base & Filling

90 g Crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits (¾ cup)
120 g Powdered sugar (1 cup) (omit if pistachio butter is already sweetened)
150 g Pistachio butter (5.3 oz)
50 g Butter (1.8 oz)

Chocolate Coating

300 g Chocolate or chocolate chips (10 oz) (chopped)
2 tsp Nutella
½ tbsp Coconut oil

Instructions

Melt Chocolate: Chop the chocolate finely and melt it along with coconut oil and Nutella over simmering water using a double boiler or bain-marie method until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Coat Liners: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate into each paper liner. Tilt and rotate the liners so the chocolate evenly coats the sides up to halfway. Place the liners in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to set.
Crush Cookies: Crush the graham crackers or digestive biscuits using a plastic bag and rolling pin or pulse lightly in a food processor, then mix the crumbs with powdered sugar until well combined.
Melt Pistachio Butter: In a pot over medium-low heat, gently melt the pistachio butter together with butter until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the cookie and powdered sugar mix to form the filling.
Add Filling: Spoon the pistachio butter mixture into the prepared hardened chocolate shells in the liners, filling them almost to the top.
Seal with Chocolate: Rewarm the remaining chocolate mixture if necessary, then spoon it over the pistachio filling to completely cover and seal the cups. Optionally, sprinkle some crushed pistachios on top for garnish.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the filled cups until firm and set, usually at least 30 minutes, before serving and enjoying.

Notes

If your pistachio butter is already sweetened, omit the powdered sugar to adjust sweetness.
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
Be gentle while melting chocolate to avoid burning and seizing.
Store finished butter cups in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
