Saffron Pistachio Ice Cream Amsterdam — MOAK
Saffron Pistachio Ice Cream in Amsterdam — MOAK's Secret-Recipe Scoop
Saffron pistachio ice cream is MOAK's own secret recipe — a plant-based scoop we make in-house and serve nowhere else. It crowns a sugar-free pancake stack: warm, floral saffron and nutty pistachio melting into fluffy buttermilk pancakes and organic Canadian maple syrup.
You'll find it at all three MOAK locations — City Center on Jodenbreestraat, De Pijp on Ferdinand Bolstraat, and Utrecht Neude — walk-in daily 08:30 to 15:30. It sits on three dishes: The Ice Ice Baby, the deluxe version of The Blue Magic Deluxe, and the showpiece The Golddigger.
What makes MOAK's saffron pistachio ice cream different
It's our secret recipe. We developed the saffron-and-pistachio scoop in-house — the exact recipe stays in the MOAK kitchen. Saffron gives it a delicate floral warmth; pistachio brings a roasted, nutty depth. Together they turn a brunch pancake into something you'll remember.
It's plant-based. The scoop is fully plant-based — which is why The Ice Ice Baby, built around it, is one of MOAK's vegan dishes. You get the full flavour with no dairy.
It pairs with sugar-free pancakes. Every MOAK pancake stack is sugar-free, made from organic wholegrain wheat flour and organic buttermilk. The sweetness comes from the ice cream, the fruit, and 100% organic Canadian maple syrup from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia — not from sugar in the batter.
Three ways to order it
The Ice Ice Baby V — a sugar-free pancake stack with a scoop of our secret-recipe saffron pistachio ice cream, blackberries, raspberries and organic maple syrup. Fully vegan.
The Blue Magic Deluxe V — homemade blueberry sauce, banana, strawberry and maple. Go deluxe with a scoop of saffron pistachio ice cream on top.
The Golddigger — three blueberry pancakes with a large scoop of saffron pistachio ice cream, natural Ruby chocolate, three 22-karat edible gold leaves, edible flowers and caramelised pineapple. Served on Versace porcelain with Luc Belaire Rosé champagne on the side. We make one per hour.
