– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
For the topping:
– 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions:
1. Start with the crust: Mix together graham cracker crumbs, ground pistachios, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into tart pans and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
