Homemade pistachio ice cream is easy to make, especially if you use store-bought pistachio cream and condensed milk.

You don't need an ice cream maker to make this ice cream, and the pistachio ice cream is incredibly delicious! 

Ingredients: 

♥ 5 dl heavy cream
♥ 1 can sweetened condensed milk (approx. 400 g)
♥ 250 g pistachio cream (see tips)
♥ 1 tsp vanilla paste (see tips)
♥ 1 tsp flaky salt (can be omitted)
♥ 75 g pistachios, unsalted

Topping:
♥ 100 g pistachio cream (see tips)
♥ 25 g pistachios, unsalted

Instructions: 

Gather the ingredients. 

Whip the heavy cream to a thick cream.

In another bowl, add sweetened condensed milk. Add pistachio cream, vanilla paste, and flaky salt. 

Quickly whisk this together.

Then fold the pistachio mixture together with the whipped cream. 

Mix in chopped pistachios.

Line a mold that holds 1.5 liters with baking paper or plastic wrap. Pour the ice cream mixture into the mold.

Drizzle more pistachio cream on top (preferably heat it a bit to make it more liquid, see tips) and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top. 

Place the mold in the freezer for at least 5 hours and preferably overnight to allow the ice cream to set.

Take the ice cream out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften enough to make ice cream balls or slice the ice cream.

Amazing ice cream! 😍

Such luxury with homemade pistachio ice cream! 😋

Tips:

♥ It is important that you use condensed milk of the sweetened type. There is also unsweetened condensed milk, but you should not use that product here. Both sweetened and unsweetened condensed milk are sold in cans, but the consistency is completely different. Sweetened condensed milk is thick in consistency and light yellow in color.

♥ I have made it simple and used store-bought pistachio cream. You can buy this in various specialty stores. I bought 2 of these HERE at Olivenlunden. When you drizzle a good amount of extra pistachio cream on top of the ice cream as I have done, some of the pistachio cream sinks into the ice cream and creates delightful, slightly chewy pistachio cream clumps in the finished ice cream. However, you can skip this if you want, and then it's enough to use 1 jar of pistachio cream (220 grams).

Alternatively, you can use homemade pistachio cream, which you can find the recipe for HERE at Det søte liv.

You can heat the pistachio cream briefly in the microwave to make it a bit more liquid.

♥ Vanilla paste is a dark vanilla syrup that gives a very good vanilla flavor. Available in most grocery stores. Alternatively, you can use vanilla extract. 

♥ I find that a pinch of sea salt is nice in this ice cream, but you can skip this if you don't like it. 

♥ Pistachio ice cream can be stored in the freezer for several weeks. 

♥ Using sweetened condensed milk in ice cream has become very popular, among other things, because it gives a soft and creamy ice cream without using an ice cream maker.
