I love pistachio desserts too!! I am so in love with this ice cream. I can’t wait to try it now that I have an ice cream maker. Pinned and sharing 🙂
That’s awesome Zainab! Thanks. 🙂
I made this ice cream over the weekend . . . it was absolutely yummy!! I believe that the pudding mix made it so creamy and delish. My brain started thinking about some variations . . . like coconut cream pudding, dark chocolate pieces and almonds. Thanks for the great recipe!!
Hi Sharon, You’re right the variations are endless. I’m glad you liked the recipe! 🙂
Just made this ice cream and it was awesome! Very creamy, sweetness level was just right, and chocked full of pistachios. I let it set up in the freezer for a couple of hours before we dug in. I’ll definitely be making it again. Already thinking of other “pudding mix” ice cream variations I’d like to try.
Thanks Carol, I know the possibilities are endless. 🙂
Wow! Delicious! I think that pudding brand which rhymes with “hello” should sponsor your recipe post. This ice cream was so easy and flawless. Changing the cream ratio to more milk or half and half than cream would probably make a fabulous “gelato al pistacchio”! Brava!!
Thanks JoAnn. I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe. 🙂
I made this today but I dropped the sugar and substituted stevia. I added an egg for texture. Excellent! Diabetic friendly ice cream rocks.
Sounds perfect Willie!
