Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 cup chopped roasted pistachios
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon of almond extract
Instructions
- Combine milk, sugar, and pistachios in a saucepan. Stirring occasionally, heat milk over low temperature until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside. In a clean bowl whisk eggs together. Pour a quarter of the sweetened milk recipe into the whisked eggs. Stir for a couple of minutes. This step will temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling, later on. Pour egg mixture into saucepan. Add heavy cream. Cook over low heat, continually stirring, for three to five minutes. Custard should thicken. To test for consistency dip a wooden spoon into custard. Custard should cover back of spoon without running. Once ready, immediately remove from heat. Add almond extract and pour into large clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool completely in refrigerator.
- Once custard has completely cooled pour into ice cream maker. Follow manufacturers instructions. Store in airtight container in freezer. Eat often and make again. Enjoy!
