Pistachio Black Pepper Ice Cream Recipe
You are in for a treat! This black pepper ice cream has a few surprises up its sleeve. Black pepper might not be your typical ice cream flavor, but you'll love the subtle kick it gives amid the creaminess. Speaking of creamy - here's the twist -the base of this ice cream is entirely dairy-free. How so? It's made with soaked pistachios, resulting in an astonishingly rich treat with a delightfully nutty essence.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ 1 ½ cups pistachios
- 1 ½ 1 ½ cups water
- ¼ ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 ½ 1 ½ teaspoons fresh ground pepper
- 1 ½ 1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ ¼ teaspoon 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.
