Pistachio ice cream: nutty ice cream classic
Pistachio ice cream is one of the Ice cream classic and is one of the most popular types of ice cream. The fine, nutty aroma paired with the green coloring makes it something very special.
This ice cream recipe was a suggestion from my "Make an ice cream wish" article. Maybe you have an idea or wish that you would like to share in the comments?
Since Pistachios very expensive are, this ice cream is not exactly cheap to make. But at least you can be sure that there are real pistachios in your ice cream and that it tastes good. Not like it can occur with many store-bought ice creams that use flavoring or worse, for example.
You can also make your own pistachio ice cream Enjoy at any time. Sometimes ice cream parlors even take this type of ice cream out of their range when the raw material pistachio becomes too expensive.

Notes
Tips and interesting facts about pistachio ice cream
- Pistachios are actually like almonds not nuts, but stone fruits. Cultivation, harvesting and processing are quite complex. This explains the high price.
- I use the following for this recipe 100% Pistachio puree. Pistachios cannot usually be ground so finely at home. Some people may not mind or even like this, but I prefer my ice cream fine. It is best, roasted pistachio puree to use (e.g. KoRo from € 23.99 (€ 47.98 / kg))* . Roasting brings out the taste of the pistachios even better.
- If you do decide to Whole pistachios (e.g. Kamelur 500g organic pistachios without shell and with skin from € 26.90 (€ 53.80 / kg))* you should try them beforehand in the Gently roast the pan without oil. Use a High performance blender (e.g. Russell Hobbs Stand Mixer 2 from € 49.99 )* . However, make sure that the pistachio puree does not get too hot. You can also strain the ice cream mixture through a Nut milk bag (e.g. DuEco nut milk bag with 2 pieces for organic nut milk & plant milk from € 7.99 )* to sieve out the pistachio pieces and obtain a fine ice cream again.
- Toppings: chopped pistachios are suitable, these can also be roasted in a pan or caramelized can be. Chocolate chips or a Homemade chocolate sauce also go very well. If you want to combine fruit with pistachio ice cream, you can use peaches or cherries, for example.
