Ninja Creami Pistachio Ice Cream Recipe

Making pistachio ice cream with the Ninja Creami is easier than you might think. Here’s a simple recipe to help you create your own creamy masterpiece:

Ingredients for Pistachio Ice Cream Ninja Creami:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups shelled pistachios, lightly toasted and finely ground
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for enhanced flavor)
• Green food coloring (optional, for a vibrant green hue)

How to make this Pistachio Ice Cream in Ninja Creami

1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth and heated through, but not boiling. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Roast and Grind the Pistachios:

• Begin by roasting the pistachios to enhance their flavor. Spread the pistachios evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 8-10 minutes, or until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Allow them to cool completely.

• In a food processor or blender, pulse the shelled pistachios until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you want a coarse texture rather than a paste.

3. Infuse the Ice Cream Base:

• Stir the ground pistachios into the warm cream mixture, along with the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using). Let the mixture steep for about 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.

4. Chill the Mixture:

• Combine cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until smooth, but not boiling. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

5. Churn the Ice Cream:

• When ready to make the ice cream, assemble the Ninja Creami machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the mixing bowl is frozen solid. Pour the chilled Ninja Creami Pistachio pudding ice cream base into the frozen mixing bowl.

6. Churn and Freeze:

• Attach the lid and paddle attachment, then select the “Ice Cream” setting on the Ninja Creami machine and start the cycle. Let the machine churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, typically about 20-25 minutes.

7. Add Food Coloring (Optional):

• If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring during the last few minutes of churning to achieve a vibrant green hue.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

• After churning, transfer the pistachio ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4-6 hours until firm. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade Ninja Creami Pistachio Ice Cream.

Sugar Free Pistachios Ice Cream

To make this Ninja Creami sugar free Pistachio Ice cream, use unsweetened nondairy milk (e.g., almond milk, oat milk) and canned coconut cream. If you don’t require it to be fully sugar-free (for example, if you’re merely avoiding added sugars), you can use dairy products like dairy milk and heavy cream, which contain natural sugars.

Useful Tips for Best Results

• If your pistashio ice cream is crumbly after the initial round of churning, you can put it through a Re-Spin cycle. If that doesn’t produce a wonderful, creamy texture, I add a spoonful of milk and Re-Spin, which generally works. If you’re adding chopped pistachios, I’d propose conducting any necessary re-spin cycles before mixing them in.
• If you want a more noticeable flavor, add a few drops of almond extract, especially if you’re using half a box of pudding mix.
• To make vegan Pistachio ice cream, substitute unsweetened canned coconut cream (not regular coconut milk) for heavy cream and unsweetened almond or oat milk for regular milk.
•
