When people think of Caribbean food, they might not think of ice cream, but it’s really popular around the region. In Jamaica, we have all sorts of unique ice cream flavors, like grape nut and rum raisin, but my favorite is pistachio. As a kid, I remember making trips with my family and friends to get ice cream and I always loved the vibrant green color of the pistachio flavor, made with milk fresh from local creameries on the island. Every time I remake pistachio ice cream at home, it brings me back to my childhood.
