Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- Red food coloring (optional)
Special equipment needed:
- Ice cream maker
- Food processor
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a food processor, pulse the shelled pistachios until they are finely chopped.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Add the chopped pistachios to the bowl and stir until evenly distributed.
4. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. While the ice cream is churning, make the raspberry swirl. In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry jam over medium heat until it becomes liquid.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add a few drops of red food coloring to create a pink color, if desired.
7. Once the ice cream has finished churning, transfer it to a large container. Drizzle the raspberry swirl on top and use a knife to swirl it into the ice cream.
8. Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm.
