Spread half the mixture onto plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Roll the plastic wrap and twist the ends to seal. Roll back and forth few times to make the log evenly round. Repeat with remaining mixture. 4. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until firm. 5. Remove the plastic wrap, dust with powdered sugar from all sides (or roll in powdered sugar).

Notes: • Instead of pistachios you can use almond/ pecans/hazelnut or any other nuts that you like. • Keep refrigerated. • For extra flavor you can add any liquor that you like or brewed coffee. But it is optional. • If you are not using coffee or liquor, use the same amount of milk instead.
