Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk whole milk preferred
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup pistachio paste
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ice Cream Base

  • Take a mixing bowl and add milk, cream, sugar and salt. Whisk everything until the sugar fully dissolves. Make sure the mixture looks smooth and creamy before moving to the next step.

Add Pistachio Flavor

  • Now add pistachio paste and vanilla extract into the mixture. Stir well until the color becomes light green. The aroma should smell nutty and sweet. This step builds the rich pistachio flavor base.

Pour Into Container

  • Carefully pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Do not overfill it. Leave some space at the top. This helps the ice cream freeze properly without spilling.

Freeze Overnight

  • Place the container in the freezer for at least 18 to 24 hours. Make sure it stays flat. This long freezing time is important for smooth texture later in the Ninja Creami process.

Process in Ninja Creami

  • Remove the frozen container from the freezer. Place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Ice Cream” setting. Let the machine churn until it becomes soft and creamy.

Respin if Needed

  • If the texture looks crumbly, use the “Respin” function. This step makes the ice cream smoother and creamier. You can also add a small splash of milk if needed.

Add Crunch and Serve

  • Add chopped pistachios on top for crunch. Serve immediately in bowls. Enjoy the creamy, nutty flavor while it is fresh and soft.

Notes

  • Use real pistachio paste for strong flavor
  • Add almond extract for extra nutty taste
  • Use honey instead of sugar for natural sweetness
  • Add chocolate chips for a fun twist
  • Freeze container flat for best texture
  • Do not skip the respin step
  • Use full-fat dairy for creamier ice cream
