Why You’ll Love This Recipe

So Quick and Easy. It really doesn’t get simpler than today’s no churn pistachio ice cream recipe. With just 5 ingredients and a few minutes of your time, your ice cream will be ready to freeze.

Smooth and Creamy. The pistachio butter gives the ice cream the most incredible texture that’s creamy and so luscious.

Delicious with Add-Ins. If you like some crunch in your pistachio ice cream, you can add a handful of chopped salted pistachios or even buttery macadamia nuts. I also think that chocolate pairs perfectly with pistachio, so add some chopped chocolate, chocolate chips or brownie chunks for a decadent experience.

Ingredients

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk. The sweetened condensed milk sweetens no churn ice cream, and gives it a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Creamy Pistachio Butter. I used unsalted pistachio butter and added some salt. But if yours is salted, be sure to omit the extra salt in the recipe.
  • Vanilla Extract. Flavor.
  • Salt. Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavor of the pistachios.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream. Adds fat and richness, and a smooth creamy texture.

Note:  The pistachio flavor in this ice cream is pretty bold.  If you like a more subtle pistachio flavor, reduce the pistachio butter to 1/3 cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find pistachio butter?

Pistachio butter isn’t as readily available at grocery stores as other nut butters are. I used this creamy pistachio butter, and the flavor is fantastic. While it is, admittedly, an expensive ingredient, think about what you spend on an ice cream cone at a good quality ice cream shop! You can also buy a bag of pistachios and make your own pistachio butter.

How can I make a lower fat no churn ice cream?

You can definitely use fat free sweetened condensed milk, but you cannot substitute a lower fat cream or milk for the heavy whipping cream, or your ice cream won’t have a nice texture.
