For the birth of my wonderful friend, B or Briony, I made her favorite, Pistachio! Unfortunately I do not have any pictures because she brought it home and ate it all before I could get any. Take my word for it, and hers, that it was aaaaaammmmazing! Creamy and very nutty!
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
4 large egg yolks
1 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup unsalted shelled pistachios, toasted, coarsely chopped
Directions
Finely chop 1 cup pistachios. Mix pistachios with a 1/4 cup sugar.
Bring milk and ground pistachio mixture to boil in heavy
large saucepan. Remove from heat. Mix in almond extract.
Whisk egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in medium
bowl. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture.
Return custard to saucepan.
Cook over low heat until custard thickens. Stir constantly, about 10 minutes
(do not boil). Strain into large bowl. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
Stir 1 cup whipping cream and chopped pistachios into
custard. Freeze in ice cream maker. Transfer to container and freeze. (Ice cream can be
prepared 3 days ahead.)
Love you B!
