💚 Planet-Friendly Vegan Pistachio Ice Cream Recipe
🌱 What You’ll Need:
-
2 cups pistachio milk (unsweetened)
-
1 cup raw pistachios (unsalted, soaked in water for 4 hours or overnight)
-
1 cup allulose (a zero-calorie sweetener that won’t spike your blood sugar)
-
1 ripe avocado (for silky creaminess)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 tsp almond extract
🌀 How to Make It:
Step 1: Drain your soaked pistachios and toss them into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Step 2: Add in pistachio milk, avocado, allulose, vanilla, and almond extract. Blend everything until creamy and fully combined—no chunks!
Step 3:
-
With Ice Cream Maker: Pour mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to instructions (usually 20–30 mins).
-
Without Ice Cream Maker: Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 3–4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent iciness.
Step 4: Scoop, serve, and swoon. Optional: top with crushed pistachios or drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate.
