Pistachio Spoon Cookie (Ladyfingers):
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat egg whites to soft peaks, gradually adding half the sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and thick.
- Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture gently. Sift in the all-purpose and pistachio flours, folding until just combined.
- Pipe the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in ladyfinger shapes. Dust with powdered sugar and bake for about 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
Crispy Pistachio Praline:

Pistachio Mascarpone Cream:
- Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. In another bowl, mix mascarpone with pistachio paste and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture gently.
Ganache with Pistachio:
