What Goes In Pistachio Ice Cream?
As I have mentioned above you need just four ingredients to make this ice cream. You just need
- cream– I have used low fat fresh cream and it is fabulous in ice creams. You really do not need double cream or heavy cream. They do add richness but this ice cream is just wonderful with low fat cream as well.
- condensed milk– Along with cream, condensed milk is what that makes this ice cream so rich and creamy.
- Pistachios– of course a good dose of pistachios for pistachio ice cream 🙂 I like to add the nuts in two ways. coarsely ground nuts to the base and finely chopped nuts as garnish.
- Flavor extract– this is an optional ingredient and you can add vanilla or pistachio extract for deep flavor.
How Is Pistachio Ice Cream Made?
Making pistachio ice cream is very easy and quick. You need a good electric beater or stand mixer to whip the cream. Begin by whipping the cream until soft peaks are formed. To the whipped cream just add condensed milk, pulsed pistachios and vanilla. Fold very gently without deflating the cream. Transfer to a freezer safe box and freeze for 8-12 hours. Scoop and serve 🙂
Cream and condensed milk combination is a wonderful base using which you can make any flavored ice cream. This is the easiest and quickest way to make ice cream at home. Especially if you are a beginner and not very sure about making custard based ice creams, this two ingredient base is your best bet.
Top Tips For Best Pista Ice Cream
- While whipping low fat cream make sure to chill the cream, bowl and beater hands for best results.
- It also helps to whip the cream over an ice bath.
- Do not over whip the cream as it will start turning into butter. You just need soft peaks as seen in the step wise photos.
- Instead of condensed milk you can use 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 cup cream.
- Use a good quality freezer safe container with tight lid. \
- It is necessary to cover the container with ice cream well in the freezer to avoid crystallization.
- You can add a pinch of green food color if needed. I have not used here.
- To make pistachio ice cream in an ice cream maker, just make the base and churn as per the instructions in your machine’s manual.
