How do you intensify pistachio flavor?

To intensify the pistachio flavor in this amazing ice cream I used both Vanilla and Almond extract. Both enhance the pistachio flavor and give a heavenly depth of flavor to it, so don’t leave them out!

Also, the addition of salt helps bring the pistachio flavor out. In this case I used roasted and salted pistachios -simply because they’re easier to find- and then developed the recipe accordingly, omitting any extra salt in the recipe.
