Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shelled pistachios unsalted
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup milk whole or 2% for creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons honey adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A handful of crushed pistachios for garnish optional
  • Whipped cream optional

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing the pistachios. You can blanch them by boiling for 1-2 minutes, draining, and removing their skins, but this step is optional. Removing the skins can make the milkshake smoother and less gritty, but it's not necessary.
  2. In a blender, add the shelled pistachios, vanilla ice cream, milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
  3. Blend everything together on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take a minute or two, depending on your blender's power.
  4. Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed. Blend for a few seconds to mix it in.
  5. If you want a thicker milkshake, you can add a bit more ice cream and blend again. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more milk and blend until it reaches your desired texture.
  6. Once the milkshake is ready, pour it into serving glasses.
  7. If you like, garnish the milkshake with crushed pistachios and a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy your homemade Pistachio Milkshake!
