Description
This pistachio frozen yogurt is creamy, nutty, and refreshing with a tangy yogurt base. It offers a lighter alternative to traditional ice cream while still delivering rich flavor.
Ingredients
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 cup shelled pistachios, unsalted
3/4 cup granulated 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 finely ground and almost paste-like.
- Add the sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt, then blend until smooth and well combined.
- Transfer the pistachio mixture to a bowl and stir in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
Add a splash of almond extract for a stronger nutty flavor.
Fold in chopped pistachios after churning for extra texture.
For added sweetness, mix in a small amount of honey before chilling.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
Can be made without an ice cream maker by stirring every 30 minutes while freezing.
