This is the three-ingredient version. Whipped cream, pistachio cream, sweetened condensed milk. Fold, pour, freeze. No machine, no sugar thermometer, no custard base. Four hours later you have a semifreddo that tastes like something considerably more involved.
The condensed milk does the work that would otherwise require a cooked sugar syrup: it keeps the texture smooth through freezing, no ice crystals. The pistachio cream from Sicilia gives it a color that photographs well and a flavor that is grassy and sweet in the right balance.
Serve it scattered with chopped pistachios and a drizzle of pistachio cream straight from the jar. The contrast between the frozen cream and the room-temperature drizzle is the point.

At least 4 hours before serving, put the whipping cream and condensed milk in the fridge to chill. Cold ingredients are essential for proper whipping.
Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer at maximum speed until it holds firm peaks. Stop before it over-whips.
Add 5.3 oz of Gusta pistachio cream to the whipped cream. Mix at medium speed until fully incorporated and evenly colored throughout.
Pour in 6.3 oz of cold condensed milk and mix briefly until smooth and uniform.
Line a standard loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a generous overhang on all sides. Pour in the mixture and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air pockets.
Fold the plastic wrap loosely over the surface. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
To serve: lift the semifreddo out of the pan using the plastic wrap. Unwrap onto a serving plate. Scatter 1.4 oz of chopped pistachios over the top and drizzle with extra Gusta pistachio cream. Slice and serve immediately.

The cream and condensed milk must both be cold from the fridge before you start. Warm cream will not whip properly, and warm condensed milk added to whipped cream will deflate it. The two or three minutes of chilling time upfront determines the texture of everything that follows.
