blackberry pistachio ice cream




blackberry pistachio ice cream

3 frozen bananas, broken or chopped in chunks
1/4 C shelled pistachios
8-10 blackberries

in a food processor, blend bananas until smooth, creamy and light. (i've tried this in a blender and the result was not as fluffy.) you may have to stop a few times to scrape down the sides, and if your fp is like mine, you may have to hold the lid on. add pistachios and blackberries and pulse until chunky but incorporated.

the pistachios added a nice crunch, but the flavor was not really there. since i love pistachio flavored ice cream, i'm thinking of getting pistachio oil for next time.

though my next adventure is to try and create my old favorite, vanilla ice cream, with some vanilla bean i recently picked up from whole foods.

what is your favorite ice cream flavor?

    Yummy. A nice reminder that summer is just around the corner. I'm a vanilla bean girl too. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

    i bet whole vanilla beans is almost all my flavors! i LOVE vanilla bean.

    sorry the pistachio was not quite right. fun to play while you experiment, right?

    oh forgot to say my favorite flavor. i think mint chocolate chip is tops.

    Sadly I can no longer eat ice cream, but when I did it was coffee bean all the way! I'm new to your blog and look forward to trying some of your recipes. Best wishes!

    Kelli, this looks amazing!! I’m so happy that you are an ice cream lover as well- I feel like we need to start a club! I’m staying tuned for your vanilla recipe!!! I always LOVED vanilla, so all of my other favorites were cookie dough, mint choco-chip, black raspberry, and everything with caramel :) Basically I just LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE ice cream :)
