Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (320°F) and line baking trays with parchment paper. Spread raw pistachios evenly on the trays and roast for 7-9 minutes.
  2. Once roasted, cool the pistachios completely then blend them in a high-speed blender until they form a thick, creamy paste.
  3. Add the dairy-free sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the pistachio paste in the blender and blend until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the chilled dairy-free whipping cream until it reaches firm peaks.
  5. Gently fold the pistachio mixture into the whipped cream, avoiding deflation, until well combined.
  6. Layer the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan, alternating with the reserved pistachio mixture for swirls.
  7. Cover the loaf pan and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
  8. To serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften before scooping.
