Spread the Joy! As spring and summer are on the way, a well-loved favorite will always be cold desserts. If you’ve got a few ingredients on hand, then why risk going out when you can make your own at home.
Of the many cold desserts that you can try out, one of the best would be ice cream! Plus, making it from scratch allows you to control the sugar and increase its nutritional value.
Among all other ice cream kinds, pista ice cream is my favorite flavour. It is so easy to make at home. I made the base using egg yolks and it gave a very nice creamy texture to the ice cream. Pistachio is very subtle, and it also goes with many other desserts, such as keto frozen desserts,that you may want to add, creating your own twist.
Lately i have been making lots of frozen dessert for this summer. It is good to make your own desserts like popsicles, ice cream
or sorbet instead of buying it at the stores. Maha loves popsicles and ice creams a lot. So i usually pour fresh fruit juices in my popsicle moulds and put in the freezer. So i can give it for her whenever she asks for it. I made a huge batch of ice creams or sorbet and put in my freezer too.
Normally i would make vanilla ice cream
in a huge batch and store it in the freezer. A quick change to the usual recipe would also mean eggless vanilla ice cream, for instance, if you’ve got a family member that’s allergic to eggs. Since it comes handy whenever I want to make either falooda or milkshakes. I can even give maha a quick ice cream sandwich by scooping some ice cream in between some cookies. It is delicious. It makes for a refreshing snack, whenever she would ask for a sweet treat.
I have a side by side refrigerator which has a big freezer. It comes very handy during this hot summer days, since I make big batches of cold desserts.
I made this ice cream since I had few egg yolks sitting in the fridge from my macaroon recipe. I will soon share the recipe, but for now, let’s enjoy this one for a good, classic pistachio ice cream. I decided to make some caramel almond ice cream. But then I went for the easy pista ice cream, since hubby loves this flavour. Now it’s a great family favorite.
I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you. Now here goes the recipe.
