Ingredients
  

For the pistachio ice cream

  • 500 ml/ 2 cups double/whipping cream
  • 1 x 395g tin sweetened condensed milk
  • 100 g/1/3 cup pistachio spread I used Pariani
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachios

For the blackberry and pistachio ice cream Eton Mess

  • 100 g/3/4 cup fresh blackberries plus a few extra for garnish
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 125 ml/1/2 cup creme fraiche or whipping cream
  • 4 scoop pistachio ice cream
  • 1 broken meringue nest
  • 1 tbsp chopped toasted pistachios

Instructions
 

For the pistachio ice cream

  • Toast pistachios on a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove immediately, chop and set aside.
  • In a large bowl whip all the ingredients with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, don't overbeat, we are not looking for a whipped cream here.
  • Pour in a freezer safe container, sprinkle chopped toasted pistachios and gently swirl them in the mixture. Cover with a cling wrap and aluminium foil and freeze for 5-7 hours.

For the blackberry and pistachio ice cream Eton Mess

  • In a small bowl mash blackberries with a fork, add sugar and mix. Let sit for a couple of minutes for the sugar to dissolve.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of the blackberry mixture and set aside. Swirl the remaining mashed blackberries into creme fraiche or whipped cream and divide the mixture between two serving dishes.
  • Top with two scoops of pistachio ice cream each, broken meringue, reserved blackberry mixture and fresh blackberries, sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is for two servings of Eton mess but the ice cream recipe will create more. Store extra ice cream in the freezer in an air tight container.
