Method

  1. 1

    Measure 200 g of Greek yogurt and place it in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Toast 30 g of pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2‑3 minutes, stirring constantly until fragrant, then let them cool.

  3. 3

    Transfer the cooled pistachios to a food processor or spice grinder and pulse until they form a fine powder.

  4. 4

    Add the ground pistachios and 15 g of honey to the bowl with the Greek yogurt.

  5. 5

    Using a hand‑whisk or spatula, stir the mixture briefly to combine the honey with the yogurt.

  6. 6

    Transfer the combined ingredients to a blender; blend on high speed for 30‑45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

  7. 7

    Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with a few extra drops of honey if desired, then give it one final quick blend.

  8. 8

    Pour the smooth mixture into an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  9. 9

    Cover the container and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm throughout.

  10. 10

    When ready to serve, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

  11. 11

    Scoop the pistachio ice cream into bowls or cones and garnish with a few whole toasted pistachios, if desired.
