Almonds are a more affordable nut option.

Make pistachio paste: peel the pistachios from the shell. Then place them in a clean kitchen towel and shake to remove as much skin as possible.

Place the pistachios (250-300g) in a powerful blender and blend until smooth and creamy. This process may take 10-15 minutes (depending on your blender) so be patient. Transfer the paste into a bowl, if in this stage the paste is warm place in the fridge.

In a large bowl, place cold heavy cream. Whip to stiff peaks. Add sweetened condensed milk, pistachio paste and whisk on low speed until incorporated. Chop 1/4 of pistachios and add to the ice cream, gently fold. This step is optional.

Transfer into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Serve!
