- Unsalted ButterAdds richness and helps create steam, which is essential for the pastry to puff up properly. Ensure your butter is cold before using it.
- Large EggsThese bind the choux pastry together, adding moisture and contributing to its light and airy texture. Use room-temperature eggs for easier incorporation.

- Pistachio PasteThe star of the filling, adding a distinctive nutty flavor and vibrant green color. Look for a high-quality paste for the best taste.
