Indulge in the creamy, nutty delight of pistachio gelato, an Italian-inspired dessert made effortlessly with the Ninja Creami. This recipe combines a rich custard base with subtle almond notes and a vibrant green hue, delivering a luxurious treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free pistachio pudding mix
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3–5 drops green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Base: In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk together sugar and pistachio pudding mix. Add egg yolks and corn syrup, whisking until smooth. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and milk until fully combined. Stir in almond extract and food coloring, if desired.
  2. Cook the Mixture: Heat the saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the custard reaches 165–175°F. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. Strain and Cool: Pour the custard through a fine-mesh strainer into a Ninja Creami pint container to remove any solids. Place the container in an ice bath to cool completely, stirring occasionally.
  4. Freeze: Once cooled, seal the pint container with its lid and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
  5. Process in Ninja Creami: Remove the pint from the freezer and process in the Ninja Creami using the “Gelato” setting. If crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function or add 1 tablespoon of milk for smoother texture.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Serve in chilled bowls or waffle cones. Garnish with chopped pistachios or drizzle with honey for added flavor and crunch.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use a candy thermometer for precise temperature control while cooking the custard.
  • Flatten the mixture before freezing to ensure even processing in the Ninja Creami.

Storage & Reheating Instructions: Store leftover gelato in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
