How To Make Pistachio Popsicles

Make the popsicle ice cream base. Add the whipped cream, condensed milk, and pistachio cream into the food processor, and blend until smooth. Pour the ice cream mixture carefully into an ice popsicle mold. Add the popsicle sticks, close the mold, and freeze until solid (about 4 to 5 hours).

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate over a double boiler. You can also use a microwave, and microwave the chocolate in 30-second increments until melted. Once the popsicles are frozen solid, gently remove the ice cream from the mold.

Dip the frozen popsicles in the melted white chocolate. Pour some of the white chocolate into a piping bag and drizzle over the popsicles. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and serve.
