Artisan Pistachio Ice Cream: the flavor taking over this season

Some flavors arrive and stay for good. Pistachio ice cream is one of them. Over the past two years, pistachio has taken over bakeries, cafés and ice cream shops across Spain: we’ve seen it in spreads, croissants, cakes and coffees. And now, with the heat here to stay, its presence in artisan ice cream shops is stronger than ever.

At Pastisseria Baixas we’ve spent more than 65 years making ice cream with the same philosophy: top-quality ingredients, no gimmicks, no colorings, with just the right amount of sugar. Our artisan pistachio ice cream is no exception. It’s simply the flavor of the moment.

Why is pistachio ice cream so trendy?

Pistachio isn’t a passing fad. Its rise responds to something deeper: today’s consumer looks for flavors that convey authenticity, provenance and a touch of accessible luxury. Pistachio checks all three boxes.

Its flavor profile is complex — slightly salty, with toasted notes and a natural creaminess that makes it irresistible — and its characteristic green color makes it the undisputed star of any display case. That said: real pistachio ice cream isn’t neon green. It’s a soft green, almost golden, that gives away the use of genuine pistachio rather than artificial flavorings.

At Baixas we work with top-selection pistachios. No colorings. No artificial essences. Just pistachio, technique and time.

How we make our pistachio ice cream: the artisan process

Want to see how our pistachio ice cream is born? We’ve filmed the whole process so you can discover it from start to finish. From selecting the nut to the final result: a silky texture, a deep flavor and a process that respects every ingredient.

The process always starts with selection. We choose pistachios with the optimal roast and ripeness. We work them into a pure paste that’s blended into the ice cream base, respecting the necessary temperature and timing. There are no shortcuts: good artisan pistachio ice cream takes its time.

The result is an ice cream with body and personality that isn’t cloying. One of those you finish without even noticing.

Beyond pistachio: our whole range of artisan ice creams

Pistachio grabs the headlines, but at Baixas our family of artisan ice creams is much wider. All made with the same handcrafted dedication.

Classics that never fail

• Vanilla ice cream →  The base of everything. Creamy, elegant, versatile. Perfect on its own or alongside any dessert.

• Chocolate ice cream → Intense and balanced. For those who need nothing more.

• Coffee ice cream → The favorite of those looking for an adult, aromatic touch.

Ice creams with character

• Hazelnut ice cream → Nutty, naturally toasted, silky texture. Pistachio’s older cousin.

• Cinnamon ice cream → A flavor with history. Warm, spiced, surprising when cold.

• Lavender ice cream → Floral and delicate. For palates looking for something different.

• Coconut ice cream → Tropical and refreshing. Ideal for the hottest days.

Seasonal ice creams

• Plum ice cream → Fruit picked at its peak. Tart and sweet in the same bite.

• Banana ice cream with chocolate pearls →  The favorite of the little ones… and of many adults who won’t admit it.

The Baixas philosophy: honest craftsmanship since 1958

Founded in September 1958 by Francesc Baixas and Conxita Melich, Pastisseria Baixas has spent more than 65 years making artisan pastries and ice cream with the same conviction: honest quality, no gimmicks.

No colorings. No preservatives. Very restrained sugar levels. Seasonal ingredients chosen for their origin and optimal ripeness. 100% sustainable, recycled-paper packaging.

Our ice creams are made with seasonal produce, taking care over the origin and ripeness of every ingredient. And always with one tip: take it out of the freezer 10 minutes before eating for the perfect texture.
