Where can I find Pistachio Ice Cream?

[wasabi]

You could make your own.

I've done an 'ice cream' (that isn't, actually), in a (very heavy duty) blender. It's basically pistachios, banana, avocado, vanilla extract, and honey (or dates). I know, sounds weird, but you get the texture of ice cream from the banana and avocado, the colour from the avocado, and the pistachio flavour from, well, pistachios.
.

Might try that. Love avocados and pistachios so this might be the motivation I need to get a blender to park alongside my current fave gadget, the Tefal Fresh Express Max. Already been making 'rice' from cauliflower for a while since going paleo and it tastes better than the real thing - your suggestion above could well be an equivalent in the dessert section.

Didn't realise how long ago this thread got started!
I haven't been checking out the gelateria in Leicester as I previously said I would - until just recently.
Am really a pub person, even hate going to coffee shops, going to an ice cream parlour/gelateria, on my own, rather than a pub is not really an option - but my partner is visiting and is stranded, due to being unable to drive back to Sussex, 'cos of some sort of wipe you out cold/flu virus - which I now seem to have acquired.
Anyway, we've forced ourselves to go out to do some gelateria - can only face ice cream or soup and I have had some amazing pistachio!
Brü on Granby does Royal Pistachio - I think that it has honey in it - delicious, but not pure pistachio.
Gelato Village in St Martins Square (the council street sign department can't afford apostrophes) - served me today with about the best pistachio i can remember. Plus, you can have up to three flavours, regardless of portion size, on a cone, or in a tub - pistachio; salted caramel and a chocolate amaretto (forget the proper Italian name) is a wonderful combi.
Tomorrow, legs willing, I will try out Whippee on Granby Street.

I love pistachio ice cream but I've not seen any for a while. We use to have a Italian ice cream van firm doing the rounds that sold all sorts of genuine Italian ice creams a few years ago.

I want pistachio ice cream now.

you can home-make ice cream really easily with the right recipe, an electric whisk, a glass bowl and a freezer. The base is double cream + condensed milk, and you add stuff to flavour it as you need. Only downside (unless you beat it part-way during freezing like a sorbet) is that it needs a bit of softening time before you can get a spoon in to serve it. Otherwise, no problems and much nicer than mass-produced stuff.

Lemon geranium ice-cream. Heat the milk with a few lemon geranium leaves - makes a very subtle flavoured ice cream.

presumably lemon rose water would also work? Though perhaps more issue with diluting the mix...

I was in Tesco today and they are now selling their own brand Pistachio ice cream.

Tesco now selling for £3...Ocado have 3 options...up to £8 in price if you are feeling fancy!

Edited : Tesco one isn't very nice, doesn't taste much of anything.

Has anyone tried the pistachio magnums? I quite like them, but might not be what you are looking for.

The Everest Ice cream seems to have disappeared from Tesco & Sainsburys. No wonder I haven't had their amazing coconut or mango ice cream for a while!

I think this is another company which has gone belly up
