Step 1

Microwave the cream cheese for 10 seconds to soften, then add sugar and almond extract. Whisk to combine well until it looks like frosting.

Step 2

Slowly add heavy cream, milk, and food coloring if desired. Make sure everything is well-combined and sugar is dissolved. Once all done, transfer to a Ninja CREAMi pint container while making sure it stays below the max line, cap it, and freeze for 24 hours.

Step 3

After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer and remove the lid.

Step 4

Place the pint container into the outer bowl and place outer bowl into the Ninja CREAMi machine, turning and locking it in place. Select the "Ice Cream" function.

Step 5

Once the process has ended, remove the outer bowl. Use a spoon to create a hole in the center of the pint until it reaches the bottom. Add pistachios into the hole and then process with the machine again using the "Mix-in" function.

Step 6

Once done, top with some more pistachios and serve!
