Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Ice Cream:

    1. 1 cup shelled pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
    2. 2 cups heavy cream
    3. 1 cup whole milk
    4. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    6. 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
    7. A pinch of salt
    8. A few drops of green food coloring (optional, for a vibrant color)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pistachios:

    • Finely chop the pistachios in a food processor until they form almost a paste but still have small chunks for texture.

  • Make the Ice Cream Base:

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves (do not let it boil).
    • Remove from heat and stir in the pistachios, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. For a vibrant green color, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix well.

  • Chill the Mixture:

    • Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  • Churn the Ice Cream:

    • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  • Freeze and Serve:

    • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
    • Serve scooped into bowls or cones, garnished with extra chopped pistachios on top.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat milk.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can place the mixture in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
