This pistachio chip ice cream brings the flavors of the popular Dubai chocolate bar to a no-churn ice cream. Studded with roasted, salted pistachios and dark chocolate chips, this recipe is made with an easy milk syrup, invented by Chef John, instead of using the typical shortcut for no-churn desserts, sweetened condensed milk. For best results, chill all of your tools, containers, and ingredients so that everything stays cool.
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups white sugar
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.33 cups pistachio butter
- 2 dropss almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 drop food coloring

- 0.5 cups roasted salted pistachios

1
Combine sugar and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil mixture for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat and pour into a bowl. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

2
Add pistachio butter, almond extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring. Whisk together, then refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.

3
Pour very cold whipping cream into a large mixing bowl, and whisk until soft peaks form. Transfer in half the pistachio mixture, and mix briefly to combine. Add remaining pistachio mixture and mix just until combined.

Use a spatula to transfer the mixture into a frozen container. Sprinkle half the nuts and chocolate chips over the top, and stir gently with a fork until distributed evenly. Scatter remaining chips and nuts over the top as evenly as possible.

Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the ice cream, cover with the lid, and transfer to a freezer until completely frozen, at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
