Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup roasted pistachios + ¼ cup pistachios to mix in
  • ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup soy milk + 2 more tablespoon when blending
  • 2 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon matcha optional, for color
  • pinch salt if using unsalted pistachios

Instructions
 

  • Blend all of the ingredients in a blender (except the ¼ cup pistachios and 2 tablespoon of milk). Transfer to your creami cup, then freeze overnight.
  • In the morning, run your ice cream through your ninja creami on the "ice cream" setting. Open the creami cup, add 2 tablespoon of milk in the well in the middle, then hit "re-spin".
  • Open the cup one more time, make a deep well in the middle of the cup, add your pistachios, and run the creami on the "mix-ins" setting.
  • Your ice cream is ready! Scoop it up and enjoy!

✨If not using a Ninja Creami

  • If you are not using a creami to make this, blend up all of the ingredients in a blender. Then transfer to ice cube molds and freeze overnight.
  • In the morning, add the ice cream cubes to a blender, along with 2 tablespoon of milk, and pulse until you get a smooth ice cream texture.
  • Add in your crushed pistachios, then scoop up into a cone or a bowl and enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegan ice cream can harden in the freezer, so let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature for the perfect scoop.
  • Process the frozen mixture with 2 tablespoons of milk for a creamy texture, then mix in crushed pistachios before serving.
