For the Ice Cream
- 2 cups coconut cream (Note 1)
- 1 cup raw shelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- 9 spinach leaves (for green color)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (Note 2)
- pinch of salt (omit if nuts are salted) Mix-In (Optional)
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine the sugar, agave, xanthan gum, and 1 cup of cold water in a medium saucepan. Turn on the heat to medium and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Do not let the mixture bubble or boil.
- Step 2: Remove from the heat and place in a high powered blender. Add the coconut cream, 1 cup pistachios, spinach, and little pinch of salt. Blend on high power until very, very smooth.
- Step 3: Place the ice cream in an airtight container and refrigerate at least overnight, or up to 24 hours for best texture.
- Step 4: After chilling the ice cream, stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Add the ice cream to an ice cream maker to churn for 45 minutes. In the final few minutes, open the ice cream maker and add the optional pistachio mix-ins. Scoop the soft ice cream into pints and freeze until firm.
- Serve: Soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: We recommend using carton-boxed coconut cream from Arroy-D for the creamiest texture. We do not recommend substituting with almond or soy milk, as it will make the ice cream much less creamy. Note 2: Xanthan gum helps the ice cream keep its texture. It can be omitted if needed.
