And guess what? This is officially my last ice cream post this summer! Yes! I promise! The thing is I can’t help it. I feel like summer would last longer if I just kept on making ice cream! Anyone else out there with similar feelings?

Anyways, if you like mint and pistachios you will enjoy it! Pistachios are one of my favorite nuts. Their bright green color always amazes me! And so does their taste! And mint? Oh, this herb is perfect in drinks, cocktails, teas, salads … and ice creams!

Now this easy ice cream recipe uses fresh mint and pistachios. The pistachios are finely chopped and added to the ice cream mix right before churning. The mint is added to milk and slowly simmered to release its flavor. If you are after a way stronger mint flavor, then add more mint.

This fresh mint & pistachio ice cream was officially the first one ever we made in the ice cream maker we bought last year!!! Imagine! Finally at the end of summer! Shame on us! I am glad we have finally tried the machine and we definitely will be making some more. But don’t worry I won’t be posting any ice cream recipes any time soon!
