Ninja Creami Pistachio Ice Cream

Ninja Creami pistachio ice cream is full of pistachio flavor. This recipe is easy to make in the Ninja Creami and requires almost no prep time. You can top with chopped pistachios for a nice crunch!

When I walk into a gelato shop, I'm always drawn to the pistachio flavor. There's just something about it. So when I got my Ninja Creami, I knew I needed to create a pistachio ice cream.

This one is so easy to make! It uses only a few simple ingredients, but gets it's pistachio flavor mostly from the pistachio instant pudding mix. The almond extract (you only need a tiny bit) adds just that perfect complement to the pistachio.

I like to top with chopped pistachios to really lean into the pistachio flavor, but it's also delicious with some amaretti cookies or even crumbled biscotti.

Ingredients

• Milk
• Heavy cream
• Pistachio instant pudding mix
• Sugar
• Almond extract
• Chopped pistachios (optional)

Recipe tips

• The ice cream should be scoopable after processing. However, if you need to, you can respin or add a splash of milk and respin.
• I love topping with chopped pistachios, but some amaretti cookies would also be delicious.
• If you have leftovers, smooth out the top and return to the freezer. You may need to reprocess before enjoying again.
