Serves

8 portions

Ingredients

For the Pistachio Ice Cream

• 500ml double cream
• 250ml whole milk
• 100g caster sugar
• 100g pistachio cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

To Garnish

Instructions

Make the Pistachio Ice Cream

Add the double cream, whole milk, caster sugar, pistachio cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a large bowl.

Using a whisk, mix the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and the sugar has fully dissolved.

Cover and chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 2–3 hours, or until completely cold. This helps create a smoother and creamier texture when churning.

Once chilled, pour the mixture into the Ice Cream Maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until thick, creamy, and ready to serve.

For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 1–2 hours before serving.

To Serve

Scoop the pistachio ice cream into bowls or cones and finish with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios, finely shaved dark chocolate, and a drizzle of honey.

A simple yet indulgent homemade dessert that’s perfect for celebrating summer flavours.
