Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted pistachios (shelled)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.33 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 large Avocado (ripe)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Almond extract (optional)
- 0.25 cup Spinach leaves (for natural color, optional)
Instructions
Place the shelled pistachios in a food processor or high-powered blender and pulse until finely ground. Set aside.
In the same blender, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, sweetener, avocado, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and spinach leaves (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the ground pistachios to the mixture and blend again until well incorporated. For a slightly chunkier texture, reserve 2 tablespoons of ground pistachios to stir in at the end.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness, if needed, by adding more erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, a little at a time. Blend again if any adjustments are made.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container (a shallow dish works best for even freezing). If you reserved some ground pistachios, stir them in now.
Cover the container with plastic wrap or an airtight lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring thoroughly every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to prevent the ice cream from becoming too icy. This step is optional but helps achieve a creamier texture.
When ready to serve, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy your sugar-free pistachio ice cream!
