ICED PISTACHIO CUPCAKES
1 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon coarse salt
3/4 cup coarsely chopped salted pistachios
Drippy Icing (recipe follows)
1 1/2 cups unsalted pistachio slivers (for garnish)*
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners.
In a food processor, grind shelled pistachios to a paste.
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, cream cheese, and pistachio paste until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Reduce speed to medium-low. Gradually add sugar; beat until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Beat in vanilla.
Reduce speed to low. Add flour and salt, beating until just combined. Fold in chopped pistachios by hand. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full.
Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored up to 1 day at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
TO FINISH:
Place cupcakes on a wire rack set over a baking sheet; spoon icing onto each, and garnish with pistachio slivers. Cupcakes are best eaten the same day they are glazed; keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
DRIPPY ICING
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
3/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Whisk confectioners' sugar, heavy cream, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Use immediately.
*Slivered pistachios are available at specialty markets and baking-supply stores. If you can't find them, use chopped pistachios instead.
