Recipe Tips

• Blend Well: make sure to blend the mixture thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined and smooth before freezing.
• Re-Spin: I find respinning the icre cream gives it the creamiest texture.

Variations

• Chocolate Pistachio: Add 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder for a ninja creami chocolate pistachio ice cream.
• Pistachio Coconut: Adding two tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut gives it a tropical flavor and an added texture.
• Maple Pistachio: Replace the almond extract with maple extract for an interesting maple flavored pistachio ice cream.

Storage

Store your pistachio ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid on, in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for easier scooping or place it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Can I use a different type of protein powder?

Yes, you can substitute the low-carb vanilla protein powder with another flavor or brand, but it may slightly change the flavor and texture of the ice cream.

Can I skip the guar gum?

Yes, you can omit the guar gum, but the ice cream may have a more icy texture. It helps improve the creaminess and consistency.
