Description

This no-churn ice cream recipe creates a truly premium dessert without special equipment, featuring vibrant pistachio ribbons and rich cardamom flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups very cold heavy cream
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tsp ground cardamom, divided
  • 3.5 oz blanched pistachios, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil

Instructions

  1. Make Pistachio Paste: Process pistachios, powdered sugar, 1 tsp ground cardamom, and neutral oil until very smooth in a food processor. Add a small amount of cold water or cream if too thick, then set aside.
  2. Whip Heavy Cream: Beat cold heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes). Be careful not to overbeat.
  3. Fold Base Flavors: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and remaining 1/2 tsp ground cardamom into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix until just combined without deflating the cream.
  4. Layer and Swirl: Pour half of the ice cream base into a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Dollop half of the pistachio paste over the base. Add remaining ice cream base and dollop the rest of the paste on top. Gently swirl with a knife to create ribbons.
  5. Freeze: Cover tightly with plastic wrap directly on the surface and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  6. Serve: Let soften for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Garnish with a pinch of ground cardamom and chopped pistachios if desired.

Notes

Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping for best results. To prevent ice crystals, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before freezing.
