Ah, pistachio ice cream with raspberry pieces —it's a winning combination for the taste buds. The smooth sweetness of the pistachio, with that tangy twist of raspberries… it instantly makes the plate pop! If you're looking to impress without too much fuss, this recipe is ideal. And Ninja Creami is like a magic wand that makes everything perfect every time. So, ready to give it a try?
Ingredients :
- 100g of pistachio paste (or if you want to make it yourself, 100g of ground pistachios)
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 100 ml of whole liquid cream
- 2 tablespoons of agave syrup (or more, if you have a sweet tooth)
- 100g of fresh raspberries (cut into small pieces for the shards)
- 1 small pinch of salt (if you like to add a little spice to the flavors)
Preparation :
- Prepare the pistachio base.
I recommend using good quality pistachio paste (the smooth, green kind), but if you want to make it yourself, grind some plain pistachios—it's delicious too. Mix the whole milk, cream, pistachio paste, and agave syrup in a bowl. Whisk well until you have a nice smooth texture. At this point, you'll already be able to taste the pistachio…it'll be hard not to try it! - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Pour everything into the Ninja Creami container without going over the MAX FILL (a classic Creami rule, but super important!). Freeze for 24 hours – I know, this is the hardest part… the waiting. - Churn with the Ice Cream program.
The next day is the big moment. You start the "Ice Cream" and voilà, the magic happens. In just a few minutes, you get an amazing pistachio ice cream. It's creamy, flavorful, and the texture is just perfect. - Add the raspberry pieces using the Extra mode.
And now for the fun part: the raspberries. Use the "Mix-In" to add the raspberry pieces and blend them in without crushing them. This is what will make the difference between a simple ice cream and an explosion of textures and flavors. The raspberries add that touch of acidity that perfectly complements the sweetness of the pistachio. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is a little too firm for your liking, you know the solution: a little Respin , with a little extra milk if needed, and your ice cream will be as soft as a cloud.
My Personal Tip:
What I love is adding a few roasted pistachios for extra crunch, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness. And if you really want to emphasize freshness, a little lemon zest on top… wow, it makes all the difference!
This pistachio ice cream with raspberry pieces is truly a winning dessert: it's fresh, it's creamy, and it surprises with every bite. The Ninja Creami does all the work to give you a perfect texture, and you get to enjoy the result. Go ahead, give it a try, I guarantee this recipe will become one of your summer classics!
