Soft, Moist & Full of Flavor — Meet My Pistachio Cupcakes

Hi foodie,

I hope you’re having a wonderful time with your family and friends during the holidays, and of course, enjoying lots of delicious food ❤️
(And if you’re trying any of my recipes, don’t forget to leave feedback and a photo in the comments section, it really helps my blog!)

For the last recipe of 2025, I wanted to create something a little different, a unique dessert made with flavors I truly love and enjoy. This recipe is personal, elegant, and you’ll probably not find it anywhere else…

We’re talking about soft and moist pistachio cupcakes topped with rich, creamy pistachio cream cheese frosting. If you love pistachios like I do, this one is going straight to your favorites list.

Pistachio Cupcakes

Naturally pale-green, wonderfully moist, and topped with the most decadent pistachio cream cheese frosting, these cupcakes are simple to make yet feel classy and special. They’re perfect for holidays, afternoon coffee… and especially great if you’re looking for a beautiful dessert for New Year’s Eve.

Homemade Pistachio Paste

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is about pistachio paste (also known as pistachio butter). I know it can be confusing, what it is, how to use it, and whether you really need to buy it.

So I recently updated my Homemade Pistachio Paste recipe with clearer instructions, extra tips, and a new FAQ section , so you can easily make it at home if you prefer.

P.S. If you don’t feel like making it — store-bought pistachio paste works great too 😊
