About Pistachio Ice Cream

The flavor of pistachio ice cream is light and rich. It is made simply by mixing fresh whipped cream with condensed milk and pistachios. Pistachio ice cream is made with easily available ingredients and without using an ice cream maker. Yes, this is also one of the no churn ice cream recipes.

The light green color and pistachio smell make it very attractive. Eating home-made ice cream without any additional ingredients tastes more refreshing and safe. I usually make this for family gatherings or summer weekends. It feels good to make ice cream without much effort.

Due to the addition of pistachio pieces, the texture of the ice cream is creamy and slightly grainy. Chopped pistachios give a slight crispness when eaten which tastes good. The pistachio essence helps bring out the strong pistachio flavor and also adds a light green color. It tastes good but is still not too heavy to eat.

This recipe is very easy and does not require an ice cream machine. For this, just whipping, mixing and setting is enough. Anyone can make it at home with very basic ingredients. This is a good option when you want a quick homemade sweet. If the cream is whipped well and not over-whipped, it always turns out good.

Pistachio Ice Cream Ingredients

• fresh cream – For creamy texture I have used full fat fresh cream. It gives thickness and smoothness to the ice cream. You can also use whipping cream if available.
• condensed milk – I have used condensed milk for sweetness and thickness. This helps the ice cream remain soft. If you like less sweets then you can reduce its quantity.
• pistachio – I have used both powdered and chopped pistachios. The powder adds flavor and gives a slight crispiness to the slices. You can also mix it with almonds.
• pistachio essence – I have added it for strong pistachio flavor and nice color. If you don’t like the essence then you can add some more pistachio powder.

• mixture – I add the condensed milk slowly so that air does not get into the cream. Mixing on slow speed works best.
• grind pistachios – I grind the pistachios coarsely, not very finely. This gives better taste and texture.
