Chocolate Swirl Pistachio Ice Cream
Jul 04, 2025 06:45 AM
Chocolate swirl pistachio ice cream will become your new favorite summer dessert! This homemade no-churn ice cream recipe is a popular method because it doesn’t require an ice cream maker. Make a 2-ingredient chocolate ganache and swirl it with a creamy, salty-sweet pistachio ice cream base. It’s ready to eat after 8 hours of freezing.
I often say pistachio is an underrated flavor in the dessert world. The nuts themselves are certainly delicious as a snack, but even better when they get a turn in the spotlight as the main flavor in a sweet treat like pistachio cake or pistachio cookies!
But my favorite way to enjoy pistachio flavor in the summer months is definitely in ice cream. So when the weather warms up and I need a break from the oven (and, honestly, my oven probably needs a break from me!), I make pistachio ice cream. And for reasons that don’t require any explanation, I included chocolate. Obviously!
