Equipment
- stand mixer optional
- hand mixer optional
- aluminum tray optional for freezing
- aluminum foil optional for covering
- chef's knife optional, for chopping nuts
- nut chopper optional
- Ice cream keeper optional
Ingredients
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream well chilled
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk well chilled

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple extract
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Add the cold heavy whipping cream to a large bowl and use a stand mixer (or hand mixer) to whip the cream until double in volume. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes. *Note - start on low speed and increase the speed to high as the cream thickens to avoid splatter.
- Once whipped, add the sweetened condensed milk, salt, maple, and vanilla extracts to the whipped cream and blend again until combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped pistachios. Taste and adjust the maple flavor by adding additional maple extract if needed to suit your taste.
- Pour the ice cream base evenly into a freezer container and drizzle with pure maple syrup.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best.
- Scoop, and drizzle with additional maple syrup and chopped pistachios before serving, if desired.
