Summer is at it’s peak and to beat that summer heat if you hunting for an easy, refreshing, no-cook ice cream, then you have landed at the right place. This no cook homemade Pistachio Icecream is a perfect make ahead dessert that comes together in no time.
And as a bonus, this recipe uses
- few basic ingredients
- requires no churn and no ice-cream machine
- is vegetarian
- and egg free!!
For me homemade ice creams are the best because I get to control all the ingredients and the best part is – its preservative and additive free!
Instant and homemade – doesn’t that sound amazing! Just mix the ingredients, freeze, scoop and enjoy! And above all it taste amazing and is bursting with pistachio flavor! 
Now on to the recipe! No cook homemade Pistachio Icecream
The base is pretty straightforward – heavy-cream + condensed milk + flavor of your choice creates the most luscious, and delicious ice cream. But if you are looking for that authentic melt-in-your-mouth taste then add milk powder to this combo and you will end up with a rich, creamy and velvety ice cream flavor! Perfecto!!
Homemade whipped cream can be substituted with store bought cool whip. I have added a pinch of green color to my pistachio ice cream but feel free to double the amount and give this treat a rich pistachio color. Likewise, pistachio essence can be used in place of kewra essence.
Mix and freeze. Once frozen, homemade ice cream has a tendency to solidify into a rock, but this recipe remains soft enough for an easy scoop out.
Some important tips to avoid ice crystals and freezer burn on ice cream !
- Cover your container tightly. If your container doesn’t have a cover, wrap it tightly with a plastic wrap and then with a foil.
- Store your ice cream in the very back of the freezer. Every time the freezer is opened, warm air gushes in, causing the ice cream to melt and then it refreezes back again. During all this thaw and refreeze, some of the ice crystals trapped inside melts and result in crystallization.
- Ice cream is best stored below 0°F (-17 degree C) above that will result in crystallization.
- There should be no change in temperature during freezing.
So what are we waiting for let’s make some ice cream today!

Hi Ruchi,
i am Shefali from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. I love most of your recipes though still I have not tried all recipes. The best part of your recipes is that it is eggless.
i am getting your recipes since a year or so. tried the icecream with many flavours -chocolate, BPK, custard apple, rose coconut. All turned out really nice. Rose coconut and BPK were best. Thanks for the recipe
Ruchi says
Thank you for your kind words, Shefali. 🙂
So, you tried this ice cream with different flavors? That’s so cool.
Rose coconut sounds yum!!
And yes, BPK (Badam pista kesar) is THE best!
Anna says
Dear no sugar required
Ruchi says
Yes, no sugar is required as condensed milk takes care of the sugar part.
Biji says
Hi any substitute for heavy cream? I have only whipping cream in my hand.. 🙁
Ruchi says
Whipping cream as in thick liquid?
If yes, than go ahead with the recipe use that as a substitute to heavy cream.

Looks pretty good but doesn’t look vegan as they say in the first paragraph haha. To much milk for that…

Lovehomemade says
A very good pistachio ice cream, I don’t like chucks of ice in my icecream and this ice cream is one of the best things I’ve eaten recently. Really delicious. Creamy yet light and has rich flavor of pistachios in it. Used vanilla essence and it tasted yummylicious. Will be making it more often and forgot to mention one thing, chunks of pistachios in ice cream adds a wonderful texture and flavor. Keep up the great effort of presenting the recipe is such an easy way.
