No Churn Pistachio Ice Cream with Real Pistachios
This no churn pistachio ice cream with homemade pistachio crème is a flavorful treat. It’s nutty flavor stands out from the rest. Its a savory dessert perfect for anyone who loves sweet and salty desserts.
This recipe was inspired by the roasted peaches with pistachio crème in the Williams Sonoma Dessert of the Day cookbook. For some reason, when I read this recipe, all I could think about was using the pistachio crème for ice cream. It’s safe to say I never made the recipe as it was intended. But deviating from the original recipe left me with this delightful frozen dessert!
Sweet, salty, creamy, and no artificial flavors or dyes! I love everything about this no churn pistachio ice cream with real pistachios.
Make this Pistachio Ice Cream at Home
Make homemade pistachio crème with:
- Shelled pistachios (I remove the shells by hand)
- Milk. If you’re using dairy-free, make sure it doesn’t have a strong aftertaste.
- Eggs
- Sugar (or alternative sweetener)
Retailers like World Market sell pistachio cream.
Ingredients in pistachio crème recipes vary. If you prefer to make it at home, you can borrow Dessert of the Day from your local library or try the pistachio cream recipe from AllRecipes. I frequently make recipes from AllRecipes and have good experiences.
Pro Tip: After making the pistachio crème, strain it through a sieve. This significantly improves texture. You don’t want mushy pistachios in your ice cream!
