Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1-10 oz can sweetened condensed milk to taste (optional)
  • 1-3 oz package pistachio pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup crushed pistachios

Instructions

  • Add your heavy cream into a bowl or stand mixer. Whip up the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. This takes around 4-6 minutes.
  • Once the peaks are formed mix in the sweetened condensed milk and the pudding mix.
  • Fold in the ingredients and once mixed add in the nuts if you would like.
  • Pour the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or ice cream container. Freeze for 3 hours or overnight.
  • Once the pistachio ice cream is set up, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can leave out the sweetened condensed milk. The condensed milk adds a lot of flavor and creaminess to the ice cream. To make it a lighter ice cream leave it out.
The nuts are optional as well for this no churn pistachio ice cream.
You can use a sugar free pudding mix, and then leave out the condensed milk to have a lower sugar dessert.
Consider adding in almonds, diced maraschino cherries, or other mix-ins that you can enjoy for the ice cream. Or leave the ice cream like it is, for delicious ice cream.
You can double the recipe if you want, just reach for a larger container or use two containers.
Make sure that you whip the cream to soft peaks or it can make the ice cream not set up the way you want.
Place plastic wrap over the top of the container before you place the lid. This will help prevent ice crystals on top of your ice cream.
