Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled and unsalted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp almond extract

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, shelled pistachios, maple syrup, and almond extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and the pistachios are finely ground, creating a creamy base for the ice cream.
  2. Freeze Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a loaf pan or similar freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer for 6 hours. Every 2 hours, remove the mixture from the freezer and stir vigorously to break up ice crystals and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
  3. Serve: After 6 hours of freezing and stirring, the pistachio ice cream is ready to be scooped and served. Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for later consumption.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, soak pistachios in warm water for 1 hour before blending.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or another liquid sweetener of choice.
  • Stirring during freezing is essential to prevent large ice crystals and promote creaminess.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • If you have an ice cream maker, you can use it for even creamier results.
