This is my last ice cream recipe for this season. Not many are fond of cold stuff in the already freezing weather, and I don't expect to be as crazy as I am, so I have put ice cream making on hold till next summer :(
So, if you are still reading this blog, and if I am still writing :P(which I hope to) next year, you will definitely see some good stuff in the Ice cream category.
Other low fat ice creams here:
Rasamalai Ice cream
Banana choco-nut ice cream
Check out the Meme at the end of this post. Pathetic!
Pistachio Ice cream - Instant and fat-free
Ingredients:
Skim milk - 4 cups
Pistachio Jello Instant pudding - 1 packet (I used the sugar-free, fat-free kind)
Sugar - 3 tsp
Pistachios or Almonds - 1/4 cup chopped
Saffron - 1/4 tsp
Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp
Method:
Blend all the ingredients, except the nuts in a blender till creamy and frothy.
Pour into an ice cream maker and let it do its thing for about 20-25 minutes.
Add nuts one minute before turning off the machine.
Best served immediately at soft-serve stage. Freeze for later use.

Priti - May I interest you with the health aspects of dark chocolate? Will that change your mind :(
Purnima - Oh! Must remember to dress up the next time! ;)
Mahimaa - I am anxious to know how it works without the ice cream maker... do let me know.
