Whatever the flavour of ice-cream, we all love to devour them. This time its Pista Icecream. Mostly in ice cream stores, pista icecream are made using pista essence thats the reason of the pale green color. Here, I have not used any essence, its all fresh pistachio nuts and hence the colour of the icecream will not be green, but the taste is delicious compared to using pista essence. Fresh Homemade Pista Icecream are always scrumptious and creamy. Serve this yummy icecream with your favourite toppings and see how your kids are enjoying this delicious dessert!

Method:
- Remove the outer skin of the pistachios and take out the nuts. Take 1/4th portion of the nuts separately which we will be using it later and add the rest 3/4th portion of nuts to the mixer
- Grind the pistachio nuts to a fine powder. Take a mixing bowl and add the condensed milk
- Then add the heavy double cream and ground pista powder.
- Whisk them all continuously till you get a stiff ice-cream batter. Initially the mixture would be thin in consistency but when you keep on stirring it with a whisk, you could see and feel that its getting thicker and finally you would get a stiff ice-cream mixture. Finally add roughly chopped 1/4th quantity of pistachio nuts which we saved in the first step and give one final mix
- Pour this in an air-tight container and freeze it for 4-8 hours or overnight. Once the ice-cream is fully set, you could take out from the freezer and keep it in room temperature for 2-3 minutes and then it will be ready to take it in a scooper
- Serve the yummy and creamy Pista Icecream in a bowl or in a ice-cream cone and you can garnish with your favourite toppings!
