How to make homemade coconut pistachio cce cream

This recipe could not be easier to prepare. Prep time takes less than 15 minutes, and then you put it in the freezer to finish.

Whip the cream

• Pour the whipping cream into a large bowl.
• Beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form.

Add the other ingredients

• Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk.
• Mix in the shredded coconut and chopped pistachios.

Tip: The ice cream will look lumpy at first, but will become smooth as you continue to fold sweetened condensed milk into the whipping cream. Be careful not to overmix; stop when only a few small lumps remain.

• Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours.
