Dairy-Free Pistachio Ice Cream |No Eggs

Do you love Pistachio Ice Cream? Want to make it dairy-free, without refined sugar or eggs?

You’re in the right place!

I had never made pistachio ice cream before. To be honest, I don’t think I’d eaten it more than a couple of times, but I had some shelled and raw pistachio nuts, and ice cream sounded good so I decided to give it a try.

Dairy-free Pistachio Ice Cream Tips

Toasted Pistachio Nuts for homemade pistachio ice cream

Toast or roast your pistachio nuts – I have instructions for toasting them in a pan, but you can also roast them in the oven if you like. Toasting the nuts brings out the rich flavor of the nut.
Make sweetened, condened coconut milk as noted in the recipe below. A lot of recipes I saw used eggs to make a custard, but to keep mine egg-free, I made the sweetened, condensed coconut milk. This gives the ice cream the rich, ceamy flavor I wanted. You could make this with all coconut milk without condensing it, but this just gives it an extra boost of flavor.
Let the ground pistachips soak in the coconut milk for at least 10 minutes. I allowed them to soak while I made my condensed coconut milk (this recips uses two cans),
Strain if you want a smoother ice cream. I wanted the little pieces of nuts in my ice cream so I didn’t strain them out, but if you prefer a smooth texture, or if you find nuts difficult to digest, you could pour the coconut milk and nut mixture through a fine mesh strainer before mixing with the condensed coconut milk
