Pistachio ice cream
Pistachio ice cream is an ice cream flavour made with pistachio nuts or flavouring. It is often distinctively green in color. Pistachio is also a flavor of sorbet and gelato. Pistachio ice cream is a layer in spumoni.
At the Bakdash in Damascus, Syria a pounded ice cream covered with pistachio called Booza is produced. It has an elastic texture made of mastic and sahlab and is famous around the Arab World.[1] Tripoli's Al Mina district is known for its Arabic ice cream including "ashta" with pistachios.
It is widely produced including by Brigham's Ice Cream, Ben & Jerry's (List of Ben & Jerry's ice creams), Graeter's and major brands.
