Ask your elders what their preferred ice-cream is, and if they've spent a little time in Italy or even visited an Italian Gelateria, then pistachio ice cream is most probably to be in their most favorite list.
Tasty Italian Pistachio Gelato Ice-Cream
INGREDIENTS
2 cups milk
3/4 tbsp kosher salt
3/4 cup sugar
6 tbsp pure pistachio paste (not pistachio cream)
1 cup heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
INSTRUCTIONS
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Whisk in the milk, cream, and salt until combined.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking frequently, until a thermometer inserted into the mixture reads 170°. Remove from the heat and whisk in the pistachio paste until well combined.
Set a fine strainer over an airtight container and pour the mixture through. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days (this helps cooked custard bases achieve a stable consistency).
In the bowl of an ice cream maker, churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's directions until it's firm and billowy, and a spoon dragged across the top leaves a lasting impression, about 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until hardened, at least 4-5 hours. Later on, if it's too firm, thaw it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before scooping and serving. For best results, eat within 2 days of freezing.
