Pistachio Ice Cream Creamy Homemade Pistachio Dream Ice Cream Ingredients: 1 cup shelled pistachios, unsalted 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided 2 cups whole milk 1 cup heavy cream 5 large egg yolks 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1/4 teaspoon salt A few drops of green food coloring (optional) Directions: In a food processor or blender, finely grind the pistachios with 1/4 cup of sugar until they form a coarse paste. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine milk and cream. Heat over medium until just simmering, then remove from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until the mixture is pale and thick. Slowly pour about half of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170°F/77°C). Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in the pistachio paste, almond extract, salt, and green food coloring if using. Mix well. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
