4. In a food processor or high speed blender, blend the frozen kadaifi cylinders into a smooth consistency. Gently fold the kadaifi mixture into the cream mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the finished ice cream to a lidded container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
6. To serve, scoop the ice cream into individual bowls or glasses, drizzle with the prepared syrup, and garnish with chopped pistachios.
