Description
A creamy and refreshing pistachio frozen yogurt with a perfect balance of nutty richness and tangy sweetness. This light yet indulgent dessert is ideal for warm days.
Ingredients
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 cup shelled pistachios (unsalted)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the pistachios in a food processor and blend until very finely ground, almost forming a paste.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the ground pistachios to the yogurt mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- For a firmer texture, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2–3 hours before serving.
Notes
Swap part of the sugar with honey for a more natural sweetness.
Fold in chopped pistachios after churning for added texture.
Add a splash of rose water for a subtle floral flavor.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
If no ice cream maker is available, freeze and stir every 30 minutes until creamy.
