Description
Try our delicious pistachio ice cream, with a creamy texture and nutty flavour. Grab a scoop of this classic flavour, made with fresh pistachios. Enjoy!
Method
Step 1 of 4
Bring the milk to a simmer in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until thick and pale. Whisk in the hot milk and then return to the saucepan. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. (An instant-read thermometer will read 85°C.) Do not boil.
Step 2 of 4
Strain through a wire sieve back into the bowl and stir in the extract and a few drops green food coloring, if using. Add the pistachios and let cool. Lightly whip the cream and fold into pistachio custard.
Step 3 of 4
To freeze the ice cream by hand, pour the mixture into a freezer-proof container and freeze for at least 3-4 hours, until icy. Whisk well. Freeze for 2 hours more and whisk again. Cover and freeze until ready to use. To freeze ice cream in an ice cream machine, pour the mixture into the freezing compartment and churn. Transfer to a freezer proof-container, cover, and freeze until ready to use.
Step 4 of 4
Scoop the ice cream into dessert glasses, sprinkle with chopped pistachios, and serve immediately.
