This homemade pistachio ice cream is full of toasty roasty pistachio flavor and pretty green color that's totally natural and actually tastes like pistachios.

1

Measure the tapioca starch into a small bowl. Measure out the milk, then add a couple of tablespoons of the milk into the bowl with the tapioca starch. Mix well to form a slurry and get out all the lumps.

2

Add the milk, cream, sugar, and glucose syrup to a small pot on the stove. Heat on medium and stir well until all the sugar is dissolved.

3

Add tapioca starch slurry and stir well for a few minutes on medium heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about a few minutes.

4

Add the pistachio paste and vanilla essence and blend well until smooth. Chill in the fridge for at least four hours, ideally overnight.

5

Put your ice cream storage container into the freezer to chill. If you are using a self-chilling churner turn it on ten mins before to chill. Churn the ice cream. It will be the consistency of soft-serve when done.

6

Transfer to the chilled ice cream container, cover, and freeze for at least four hours, or until firm.

7

To serve, remove from the freezer, scoop, and enjoy. Fabulous on its own or with some extra chopped roasted pistachios sprinkled over the top. Delicious!

Chef's Pro Tips

1

For a more intense pistachio flavor, consider roasting raw pistachios before blending them into a paste.

2

Ensure the pistachio paste is of high quality; this will significantly affect the final taste of your ice cream.

3

Chilling your mixture overnight allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.

Storage Guide

home

Up to 2 weeks

Store in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming. For best texture, allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.

Avoid These Mistakes

✕ Not dissolving the sugar completely can lead to a gritty texture.
✕ Over-churning the ice cream can cause it to become too hard; stop once it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
✕ Using low-quality pistachio paste may lead to a bland flavor.
