Tips:

  • Use high-quality pistachios: The flavor of your ice cream will depend on the quality of your pistachios. Look for fresh, green pistachios that are free of blemishes.
  • Toast the pistachios: Toasting the pistachios will enhance their flavor and make them more aromatic. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality ice cream maker: An ice cream maker will help you churn the ice cream quickly and evenly. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make pistachio ice cream by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning: This will help the ice cream freeze more evenly and smoothly.
  • Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer: Pistachio ice cream will keep for up to 2 weeks in the freezer.
