Homemade Pistachio Amaretto Ice Cream.

May 1, 2012 Post a comment

 


So the warm weather has arrived, again, here in Pennsylvania.  80′s and quite balmy here as I sit and type this blog entry.  I’m so excited about this recipe.  I’m not a huge kitchen gadget fan and this is perfect!  No ice cream maker, rock salt or drama required!  No excuses… this is perfection and let’s face it, I haven’t led you astray yet!  :)

Ingredients:

1 c of heavy cream (chilled)
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
3 tbl of Amaretto
3/4 c of whole pistachios (shelled)
1 tsp of almond extract

Directions:

In your stand mixer, whisk attached, whip the cold cream until stiff peaks form.  It will look just like whipped cream :)

In a separate bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, Amaretto, pistachios and extract. Stir to combine and then fold into the whipped cream mixture.  Spoon into a tupperware container with a lid and freeze for at least 12-24 hours.

Enjoy!

I made this with mini chocolate chips and vanilla extract. It is so good.

Jamie, So many adaptations to try! I need to try chocolate (hubby is allergic) so I wanted to try a non-chocolate version first. Next up, chocolate! :) Thank you for sharing your variation!! Sounds so good.
