**Prepare the Pistachios:**
- 2
If desired, rinse the salted pistachios briefly to reduce some of the saltiness, then drain and pat dry. You can also leave them as is for a stronger savory flavor.

**Make the Pistachio Base:**
- 4
In a food processor, combine the salted pistachios and blend until you achieve a coarse paste. Be mindful of the salt content while assessing the flavor.

**Incorporate Cream:**
- 6
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the pistachio mixture. Be careful not to deflate the cream too much – you want to keep it light and fluffy.

**Add Flavor:**

Mix in the vanilla extract and milk, blending until you have a smooth and spreadable consistency. Taste as you go, and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more powdered sugar.
