Pistachio Mascarpone Gelato
Homemade pistachio gelato made with mascarpone cheese! Mascarpone gelato is a rich, creamy, and refreshing Italian dessert!
It’s almost Memorial Day weekend, and that means Summer is right around the corner. This afternoon B and I made this gelato and you really must try it. Immediately. You’ll think you’re in Piazza Navona, Roma. It’s that good. I first tried it without the pistachios and was disappointed. But after adding the pistachios? Something magical happened. It’s also one of the easiest ice creams I’ve ever made. No eggs to temper!
Now that we’re in the Summery spirit, I’ll share some Summer inspiration from our home to yours…
Potted Hydrangea on our porch
I always know Summer is coming when the starfish come back out on our mantel.
in our family room…
and living room…
That mossy succulent sphere was fun to make. Do we need a tutorial?
A few of my favorite things for Summer
1 & 6 ~ Mason jars for drinks and flowers. Cute AND cheap!
2 ~ Current favorite dress $88 at Anthropologie. This is the most comfortable thing I have ever put on AND it’s V stripes and fit make it super flattering.
3. Pure Fiji sugar scrub. Smells like a tropical island… ahhhh…
4. Brazilian Gloss keratin treatment. 3 months of frizz-free hair without blow drying.
5. Get glowy Summery skin with this shimmer brick (I’ve been using this for 5+ years and still love it)
Ciao Bella! I hope you have a sweet Spring & Summer!
Pistachio Mascarpone Gelato
This pistachio gelato ice cream recipe will transport you to Italy! Made with mascarpone cheese, it's deliciously rich and creamy.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. mascarpone
- 3 cups milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup roasted or toasted pistachios
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the mascarpone, milk, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Remove from heat. Cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- The liquid may have separated. If so, pour liquid through a fine mesh sieve and discard solids. Add pistachios to liquid and pour into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

Awesome post!! I'm so ready for some of that gelato. Let's have lunch soon!!!!! =)
We set out our hammock over the weekend. It's true, summer is close! That pistachio gelato is making me hungry…
All of my friends would think I'm crazy, but I love this flavor idea! It sounds so yummy, almost a savory-type ice cream!
You take amazing pictures, and I love the starfish and the succulents!
I'm afraid if I had pretty wood shelves like that I would litter them with my gemstone and fossil collection. 😛
Gelato looks delicious, and your house looks beautiful and summery!
Best,
Gloria

Your girls are so precious. As you can see, I am very impressed with your blog. Great job.
I think the gelato looks wonderful. It's a bit too cold and windy here to think about ice-cream though, but I have written the recipe out for another day…thankyou. I love your starfish! Thankou so much for your comments on Pinterest. I think I have to save it as a special treat, and only go on there when everything else is done and then I won't have the guilt! Have a wonderful weekend, love Linda x
Love the ice cream recipe – definitely keen on the fact it's not a custard base which is more time consuming! thanks for the great recipe:)
I am so ready for summer….home made ice cream and potted plants…didnt know hydrangeas can be potted…I have two big ones in my back yard…they were my father in laws favorite…have a great weekend…following and hope a follow back.
