Pistachio Jasmine Coconut Cream Filling Recipe – Silky Filling for Chiffon, Cakes & More

Ingredients

(Makes about 180–200g of cream)

• 25 g white chocolate
• 0.1 g sea salt
• 3.5 g coconut milk powder
• 27 g pistachio paste (unsweetened if possible)
• 100 g heavy whipping cream (aka light cream)
• 0.4 g jasmine green tea powder
• 2 g powdered sugar (optional, adjust for sweetness)

How to Make Pistachio Cream Filling

Step 1 – Melt & Mix Base:

In a heatproof bowl over warm water, melt the white chocolate and sea salt. Once melted, stir in the coconut milk powder and pistachio paste. Mix well and sift once to keep it smooth.

Step 2 – Make Whipped Cream:

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, jasmine tea powder, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form (flowing yogurt consistency).

Step 3 – Combine & Whip Again:

Add the chocolate-pistachio base (Step 1) into the whipped cream. Mix on low speed until just combined.

Tip: Don’t overwhip. You want it soft and airy, not stiff.

Ingredient Notes 

1. Coconut Cream / Powder – If you can’t find coconut milk powder, replace with 1 tsp of canned coconut cream (like Coco Lopez or Savoy).
2. Pistachio Paste – Use 100% pistachio if you want bold flavor. Sweetened pastes will change the final taste.
3. Dairy-Free Swaps – Use coconut whipping cream, So Delicious Heavy Whipping Cream, or Silk dairy-free heavy whipping cream for a vegan version.

Storage & Usage Tips

• Refrigerate in airtight container up to 3 days
• Freezing not recommended—it may separate
• Prep the pistachio base ahead and whip fresh for best taste

Pro Tips & Variations

• Chill bowl and whip for faster, better peaks
• Adjust sweetness with more or less powdered sugar
• Try matcha or earl grey instead of jasmine for flavorful variations

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use store-bought pistachio spread?

Yes, but reduce the sugar in your recipe—many spreads are sweetened and oily.

What’s the difference between coconut cream and cream of coconut?

Coconut cream is thick and unsweetened; cream of coconut (like Coco Real) is sweetened—better for drinks and frostings.

How can I make it hold better for cake layering?

Add a touch of gelatin powder (bloomed and melted) if you need extra stability, especially for warm weather or tall layers.
