At McDonald’s in Italy, a Pistachio version of the McFlurry exists - and the moment we saw it, we knew we had to recreate it. This ice cream creation is somewhere in between soft serve and a milkshake (you can add more or less half-and-half for your desired consistency) and it’s absolutely divine. The powerhouse ingredient here is the Sicilian pistachio spread; it gives a subtly nutty flavor to the dessert, and when drizzled on top afterward, it hardens into a delicious pistachio shell.
