Incredibly refreshing and absolutely delicious, this soft-serve pistachio ice cream made with the Ninja Creami will soon become one of your favorites!

Ninja Creami Pistachio Frozen Yogurt

I've been hearing a lot of hype about making pistachio ice cream with the Ninja Creami, and I finally broke down and made one!

This was a total experiment. I had no idea how it was going to turn out because it was my first time using pudding mix in a creami creation. I was nervous.

Thankfully, the pistachio ice cream was a complete success! I hate wasting ice cream.

This recipe is from my Healthy Ice Cream Recipes Ebook. You'll find this recipe and 25 other recipes, including protein ice cream recipes, dairy-free recipes, and recipes without gums and pudding mixes.

So, a few things about this ice cream.

  1. It does use a pudding mix, which I typically avoid but it was the easiest way to make this recipe and I didn't really want to buy an entire bag of pistachios for just one recipe.
  2. It's more of a soft-serve or frozen yogurt consistency, but don't let that deter you from making it. It was crazy delicious, and I ate it so quickly that I gave myself a brain freeze.
  3. It doesn't have the best macros compared to my other recipes, but it's still way better than eating a pint of store-bought pistachio ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 2% Fairlife Milk
  • Plain whole yogurt
  • Monk fruit in the raw
  • Pistachio pudding mix
  • Vanilla extract 

Macros & Substitutions

Macros per serving (½ pint): 164kcals, 31g total carbs (15g monk fruit), 16g net carbs, 11g protein and 7g fat.

Tips to reduce fat and carbs while increasing protein:

  1. Use fat-free Fairlife milk instead of 2%
  2. Use plain fat free Greek yogurt instead of whole plain yogurt
  3. Use a sugar-free pistachio pudding mix

Tips & Tricks

Be sure to prepare in advance. This recipe takes 18-24 hours to freeze. I like to plan ahead and make it before the weekend. This is when I always want an extra sweet treat.

Tools to make this easy recipe

  • Ninja Blender – I love my ninja blender. Not only can you use it for the obvious, like smoothies and shakes, but it also works perfectly for making the ice cream base!
  • Ninja Creami ice cream maker – I am in love with this Ninja Creami. 
  • Ninja Creami Pints - I opted for these pints because they were about half the price, but be weary if you need them quickly; it took about three weeks to get here. They did have some prime options for other pint containers, but I was being thrifty.

How to make Pistachio Ice Cream with your Ninja Creami

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth. 
  2. Next, transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint and place the lid on.
  3. Transfer the pint to the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours.
  4. After 24 hours, remove the lid and place the pint into the pint holder. Place the lid with the blade on top and lock it into place.
  5. Run the Ninja Creami on the lite ice cream function. You will need to respin twice for the best texture.
  6. Enjoy!

How to store

When freezing the ice cream pint, make sure the lid is on secured and it's placed in the freezer on a flat surface. The ice cream should last 3 to 6 months in the freezer.

If you don't eat all of the ice cream in one sitting, make sure to flatten the top of the ice cream, replace the lid and store in the freezer. When you're ready to eat it again you will need to run it on the ice cream or lit ice cream function for 2 spins.

    HELLO, Thank You for all your hard-work. I soooo appreciate the Nutritional
    information...'Most' lack 'that'.

    I am seeking LOW-Carbs, due to my always wanting to Lose more Weight. KETO has been very good to me, overall. Your recipes are too-high in the Carbs (31) for me to consider.

    If you have any sites or help, I would greatly appreciate it. I am an 82 y/o Single Guy. A 100% Disabled Veteran, (Agent Orange) & try my best to Help myself.

    peace...Duane Fortier, Concord, CA

      Unflavored beef gelatin and maybe some pistachio butter, and you can use pistachio milk too.

    My daughter and I both thought that the yogurt taste was too much. What's a good yogurt substitute? Just more milk?

      I'm sorry to hear that you didn't like it. You can try doing it with all milk, I have not tried it that way though.
