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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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