What kind of Frosting is Best for Pistachio Cake?


A simple glaze frosting works best for Pistachio Cake. I made this glaze even better by adding crushed pistachios to it before pouring it over the finished cake. The nutty crunch from the pistachios combined with the sweet glaze is an amazing combination!


Here’s how to make the glaze:


Glaze Ingredients:


  • 1/2 cup of confectionery sugar
  • 4 ounces of room temperature cream cheese
  • 3 teaspoons of milk
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • 1/4 cup crushed pistachio nuts.


Glaze Directions:


  1. Mix all ingredients (except the crushed pistachios) until fully combined.
  2. Allow mixture to sit for 5 mins to thicken.
  3. Pour the glaze onto the cooled cake.
  4. Sprinkle the crushed pistachios on top.
