Pistachio Black Pepper Ice Cream Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by soaking pistachios for up to 24 hours, softening them for blending. After draining and rinsing, the nuts are pureed with coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and balsamic vinegar until a creamy texture forms. Using a high-powered blender or straining afterward ensures smoothness by removing gritty bits. The cream is then chilled thoroughly before processing in an ice cream maker to achieve the rich, frozen consistency. The black pepper introduces a gentle heat that contrasts with the natural nuttiness of pistachios, while balsamic vinegar adds a mild tang to deepen the flavor complexity. The resulting ice cream offers a creamy mouthfeel with sophisticated spice notes.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups pistachio
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons black pepper fresh ground
- 1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Soak the pistachios in water for 4-24 hours. Refrigerate then while they're soaking.
- Drain the pistachios and rinse them well. Add them to a high-powered blender or food processor with the coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Note: If you do not have a high-powered blender you may want to strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve if there is a gritty texture.
- Pour the pistachio cream into a bowl and refrigerate it until it's completely cold. Once the cream is cold process it in your ice cream maker.
- Scoop the pistachio ice cream out of your ice cream maker and into a freezer-proof container. Cover the top with parchment paper directly on the surface and freeze until it's firm.
