This no-churn pistachio ice cream is creamy, nutty, and irresistibly delicious! Made with just a few simple ingredients, it delivers the rich flavor of pistachios in a smooth, velvety texture—no ice cream maker required. Perfect for summer days or as an elegant dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pistachios, shelled and lightly salted (plus extra for topping)
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Make Pistachio Butter: Add pistachios to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides as needed—it may take a few minutes.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine pistachio butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and combined.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip heavy cream on high speed with a handheld mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pistachio mixture using a spatula. Take your time to ensure no streaks remain while keeping the mixture light and airy.
  5. Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container or loaf pan. Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top (or fold them into the mix). Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before scooping. For easier serving, dip your scoop in hot water before each scoop.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: Serve in bowls or cones, topped with extra pistachios or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
  • Tips & Tricks: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream—it speeds up the process and ensures stiff peaks form easily. Use high-quality pistachios for the best flavor.
  • Storage Instructions: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To prevent ice crystals, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing.
  • Reheating Tips: No reheating needed! Simply let the ice cream soften at room temperature before scooping.
