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.

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.
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.
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.

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 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.
