Ingredients
- 400g Greek yoghurt
- 100g raw unsalted pistachios extra for topping
- 5 tbsp honey
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- Pinch of salt optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender/food processor and blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer safe container and top with more chopped pistachios.
- Freeze overnight or until set (around 8 hours)
- Take out of the freezer 15 minutes before serving. Scoop into a dessert dish and enjoy!
Notes
Peeling - I like to remove the skins of the pistachios first to get a more vibrant green colour. This step is optional and won’t affect the taste or texture of your ice cream. To remove the skins, I poured boiling water over the pistachios and let them sit for 10 minutes. Once strained and cooled a little, the skins will easily come off when rubbed between your fingers.
Roasting - You can roast your pistachios in the oven or air fryer for 5-10 minutes in a 180C (160C fan/350F) oven to bring out the pistachio flavour.
