Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 334kcal
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 3/4 cup shelled pistachios unsalted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- Optional: Chopped pistachios for garnish
Equipment
Instructions
- Combine coconut milk and pistachios in a high powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add maple syrup and almond extract, and blend together.
- Taste and add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter. It'll taste less sweet once frozen.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn following the manufacturer's directions. The mixture should firm up and turn into a ball after about 20-30 minutes. (See NOTES if you don't have an ice cream maker.)
- Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Serve in a bowl or cone (these are gluten free), sprinkled with chopped pistachios.
Notes
Don't have an ice cream maker?
- Once you blend up the ingredients, place in a loaf pan in an even layer and freeze.
- Optional (takes more work): If you want your pistachio ice cream extra creamy, mix it every 30 minutes with a metal spoon for the first 2 hours.
- Once frozen and ready to eat, you'll need to thaw the ice cream on the counter for about 15 minutes before scooping. No-churn ice cream is usually harder and icier than churned versions!
