Stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a soft dough like consistency (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Add finely chopped pistachios and mix well. Cover a tray with parchment paper and use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the mixture into bite sized balls. Place them onto the prepared tray.
