Cremissimo Pistachio Swirl with Crushed Biscuit

What is it?

Pistachio in ice cream is usually a single note, so running it as both a base and a swirl is what gives this tub some range. The swirl is sweeter and more concentrated than the base around it. Crushed biscuit is the third element and the only firm one. Pistachio is a soft, buttery flavour without much natural contrast, so a nut and cream tub can end up uniformly smooth unless something breaks it up. The style leans towards gelato rather than a dense custard base, so the finish is lighter than the chocolate flavours in the Cremissimo line. Pistachio's natural colour is a dull olive rather than the green most people expect from it.
