Pistachio ice cream

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cup shelled pistachios plus extra for topping
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

1. Add the pistachios to a food processor or blender and blend until a smooth, creamy paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed, about 7–10 minutes.
2. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the food processor and mix for 1 minute, or until combined.
3. In a large bowl, add the heavy cream, honey, and both extracts. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold in the creamy pistachio mixture until combined.
5. Pour the pistachio ice cream into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top.
6. Sprinkle with extra chopped pistachios, if desired. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours.
7. Allow the ice cream to thaw for 5 minutes at room temperature before scooping and serving.
