Use a spoon and stir all ingredients completely. Next, chop up the frozen cream into small or medium pieces. Then, very fast (as frozen cream starts to melt very quick) add them to ice cream and give a good and quick stir to all ingredients.
Sprinkle remaining of crushed pistachios top of the ice cream. Place the ice cream in the freezer and let it harden and freeze for 3-4 hours.
