Pistachio Ice Cream
I love all ice cream. I don’t play flavorites. But if I had to pick one ice cream to eat for the rest of my life, without question it would be this ridiculously tasty homemade pistachio ice cream. I truly don’t think I’ve ever tasted anything better than this ice cream. It’s creamy, but not heavy; sweet, but not cloying; custardy, but not dense… I could go on forever. This is truly the BEST pistachio ice cream you’ll ever eat.
So I need you all to make it too, so we can commiserate about how hard it is not to eat the whole batch in one sitting.
Ingredients for the best pistachio ice cream
Homemade ice cream may seem a little daunting, but once you get the hang of making it, you’ll be so in love you’ll never buy store bought ice cream again. The best part? Homemade ice cream is made with super simple ingredients and no funky additives. You’ll need 7 ingredients to make this dreamy pistachio ice cream. Here’s your grocery list:
- Pistachios: We recommend using raw, unsalted pistachios because they’re super green so you’ll get that gorgeous pistachio color. We’ve also had success making this ice cream with roasted (also unsalted) pistachios, but your ice cream will be slightly less vibrant.
- Granulated Sugar: This pistachio ice cream is perfectly sweet. The ground pistachios add an almost savory nuttiness, but just the right amount of sugar keeps this homemade ice cream perfectly balanced.
- Heavy Cream: Heavy cream will keep your ice cream suppppppper smooth and creamy. We recommend using a high quality, full fat-heavy cream for best results. After all, it is pistachio ice cream.
- Whole Milk: You’ll also use whole milk to make the base of this dreamy ice cream. This will lighten up your ice cream ever so slightly!
- Salt: Any sweet treat needs a bit of salt to round out the flavor profile. I promise your ice cream will not taste salty. It will just be perfect.
- Vanilla Extract: Make sure you’re using pure vanilla extract for the best results. We love Rodelle!
- Egg Yolks: You will need egg yolks to the make the custardy base of this homemade ice cream.
What kitchen tools will you need to make homemade pistachio ice cream
We make no churn ice cream a lot because you don’t need any fancy kitchen gadgets, but real homemade ice cream is sooooo worth it. That being said, you will need a few extra kitchen gadgets to help you. Unfortunately, if you don’t have these tools, you won’t be able to make this ice cream. If that’s the case – don’t worry! You can fill up on no churn ice cream until you get your hands on an ice cream machine 🙂
- Food processor (or high powered blender)
- Ice Cream Machine
Tips on how to make homemade ice cream
Homemade ice cream isn’t rocket science, but it’s definitely a bit more work than no churn ice cream. If you’re new to making custards or homemade ice cream, make sure that you follow these tips to guarantee perfect ice cream every time!
- Temper the egg yolks — I cannot stress enough how important it is to temper the egg yolks before adding them to the ice cream mixture. If you don’t temper the eggs, they’ll curdle in the hot cream, and you’ll be very sad because of it.
- Chill the ice cream base before churning — You can’t add the hot ice cream base into the ice cream maker, otherwise the pistachio ice cream won’t churn properly. Let the ice cream base chill in the fridge for a few hours until it’s fully cooled.
- Freeze after churning — Yes, you technically can eat the pistachio ice cream immediately after it’s been churned, but it won’t be the right texture yet. Scoop the churned ice cream into a loaf pan and pop it into the freezer for at least 6 hours before scooping it.
Happy pistachio ice cream making, my friends! Enjoy!
