Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz Pistachio instant pudding mix
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Shelled pistachios (unsalted, chopped)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the pistachio instant pudding mix, whole milk, and granulated sugar.
Whisk the mixture together until the sugar dissolves and the pudding mix is fully incorporated, typically about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes 20-25 minutes.
About 5 minutes before the churning is complete, add the chopped pistachios to the ice cream maker to incorporate them evenly into the ice cream.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Scoop and serve the pistachio pudding ice cream in bowls or on cones. Enjoy!
