Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Pistachios shelled and lightly salted ( 1/2 cup more for topping ice cream)
  • 1 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • tsp nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Add pistachios and condensed milk to your blender or food processor. Process until smooth paste forms.
  • Pour the heavy whipping cream into a separate mixing bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, mix on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the pistachio paste, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the bowl of whipped cream. Using a large spatula, gently and carefully fold the two together using big sweeps until combined and no streaks remain. Don't rush this step.
  • If using food coloring, add it now and fold it into the mixture.
  • Pour the ice cream base into a freezer-safe dish and sprinkle chopped pistachios over top. Alternatively, fold the nuts into the mixture before pouring them into the pan.
  • Place the pan into your freezer for 8 hours or overnight for the best results.
  • Before serving, place the ice cream on the counter for 20 minutes or until soft enough to scoop.
