Ingredients
1/2cuppistachiosshelled (mine were roasted and salted)
3cupsplain yogurtI use Dannon All-Natural Plain Yogurt (not the non-fat or low-fat version because life is too short for skim products because it's relatively cheap and doesn't have any weird ingredients - in Texas, I always bought Brown Cow Cream Top which is just the KING of large tubs of yogurt. I miss that stuff so much)
1cupunsweetened canned coconut milk
1/2cupgranulated sugar
1/4teaspooncoconut extract
Honey and extra pistachios for toppingoptional
Instructions
Grind the pistachios in a food processor or blender until they are very finely ground (my girls like nuts, but if yours don't, you'll probably have an easier sell the more finely they are ground).
Mix the pistachios, yogurt, coconut milk, sugar and coconut extract together. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to let the sugar dissolve and the flavors blend.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and mix according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a couple of hours to let it harden up.
Top with extra pistachios and honey, if desired (it kind of turns into caramel when it freezes a little. My girls were big fans).
