If you’re looking to switch things up, feel free to substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative and the pistachios with another nut or seed, keeping in mind that the flavor and texture will vary. Always opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.

Pistachio Caramel Logs Recipe
Ingredients
- 125 g butter, chopped
- 400 g sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup pistachios, shelled, toasted and finely chopped
Instructions
- Line the base and side of a 19 cm square cake pan with baking paper.
- In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, combine 125 g butter, 400 g sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons golden syrup, 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar. Stir over heat without boiling until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the sugar is completely dissolved, bring the mixture to a boil and whisk constantly over the heat for about 8 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and turns a dark caramel color.
- Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared pan and let it stand for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
- Using a greased knife, mark 6 strips on the caramel and allow it to cool further.
- Remove the caramel from the pan and cut it into strips where marked.
- Roll each strip in the finely chopped pistachios, shaping them into a long log about 32 cm.
- Press the pistachios firmly into the caramel to adhere.
- Cut the logs diagonally into 4 cm pieces.
- Store the finished pieces in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving.
