Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pistachio paste
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted pistachios
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • Graham cracker crumbs (optional for swirl)

Instructions

  1. Start by blending the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, pistachio paste, vanilla extract, almond extract, and whole milk in a bowl.
  2. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
  3. If you’d like to enhance the color, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix well.
  4. After achieving the desired color, cover the mixture and chill it in the fridge for at least 240 minutes.
  5. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  7. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze until firm, typically 240-360 minutes or overnight.

Notes

Use fresh, high-quality pistachios for the best flavor. You can substitute some heavy cream with coconut milk or Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
