Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed brioche bread with melted butter, ensuring all is well-coated.
- In another bowl, mix the pistachio paste, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the brioche mixture into the pistachio mixture until fully incorporated.
- Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a generous overhang.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined loaf pan, pressing it down to create an even surface.
- Wrap the mixture tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once set, carefully unwrap and remove the brioche roll from the pan.
- Slice into neat pieces and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped pistachios for a wonderful crunch. Serve garnished with fresh mint if desired.
