On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe or drop spoonfuls (about 4 cm diameter) with a smooth tip. Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top. Dry in the preheated oven for about 4 hours, leaving the door slightly ajar to keep the mixture from darkening; if necessary lower the temperature to 80°C and extend drying time.
