Notes
To make this ice cream vegan, use coconut milk instead of half and half.
Remember to make this recipe your own! If you like it creamier or sweeter, add more cream or sugar. If you don't like larger pieces of pistachio, blend it to your desired texture.
could coconut cream replace the half and half?
You could try it! It may need some liquid as well, though.
I tried it and I liked it. You have to blend it on very high speed to blend the ice correctly and as the recipe says, you can add more sugar or more crean to make it to your taste. Pistacho is one of my favorite ice cream flavor and it is hard to find. :)
can the spinach be left out?
Yes, but you won’t get the green color without the spinach.
