Walmart had Kind-brand vegan ice cream pints, in Pistachio flavor. I was pleasantly surprised to come across them, not having had vegan pistachio-flavored ice cream before.
The ice cream is green as one would expect, using spirulina and turmeric as natural colorings.
But the flavor tastes like *real* pistachios. The ice cream also has a bunch of whole pistachio nuts in it. Therefore although it really tastes like pistachios, it does not taste like typical pistachio ice cream, whose flavor (natural or artificial) is based on bitter almond (see this prior post on that topic).
Truth be told, I don't like real pistachio flavor as much as bitter almond flavor. So while this Kind pistachio ice cream is okay, it's not what I was expecting.
Edited to add: I had an idea! I could sprinkle some almond extract onto the ice cream! That'll probably help.
