Another ice cream post, you ask?
Yes. Oh, yes. (and there will be more, don’t worry!)
This has been one of the most requested flavors from family members. So, in preparation for several batches, Frank went to Costco and bought a huge bag of pistachios.
I love the sweet and salty flavor combo…yum. Don’t be afraid to use salted pistachios, I promise, you’ll love it too!

Fun! I’ve been on an ice cream kick to lately. I think I’m trying to prolong summer as much as possible.
My fiance would love this flavor. I just recently realized that I really haven’t made any ice cream this summer — that needs to change!
I love sweet and salty. My in-laws are visiting and I bet they would love this!
Love pistachio ice cream and this looks better then any I have seen
I see pistachio ice cream and I always get a little freaked out. Is it really that good?
I love the sweet and salty aspect! Delectable!
I have to tell you that since I was 8 years old, pistachio ice cream has been my favorite! Sometimes it’s a little hard to find. Thanks for the recipe. I will be making it. (Too bad for me that I turned Mr. ROsemary on to it!)
Looks so yummy! Stopping by from Life As I Know It: Crazy Kids and All
