For the Sponge

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Gradually stir in ground pistachios, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate milk and fold in all-purpose flour until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. In a saucepan, combine pistachio paste, heavy cream, and white chocolate, heating over medium-low while stirring until melted and smooth.
  5. Pour the warm pistachio cream sauce over the baked pudding and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Slice and serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream and crushed pistachios if desired.
