Tips
- Use pure pistachio paste (100% pistachio), not sweetened pistachio cream, or reduce the sugar.
- Kataifi is sold frozen or chilled in Middle Eastern and Turkish shops. Crushed toasted filo or cornflakes give a similar crunch.
- Break the kataifi into short pieces so it mixes in evenly.

Why it works
Pistachio paste adds fat and nut flavour, so the base needs less cream. Toasting the kataifi dries it out, so it stays crisp in the frozen tubpint.
