Pistachio Ice Cream


Ingredients:

1 cup pistachios, crushed
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
5 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Take the shells off the pistachios and crush them. Set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan, warm the milk and sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the egg yolks and whisk continuously until the mixture has thickened.

3. Pour the cream into a separate bowl. Once the mixture is thick enough, pour it over the cream, through a strainer. Continue to whisk until everything is incorporated. Add the vanilla extract.

5. Refrigerate the mixture until it is cold. Pour it into an ice cream maker until it is ready. Once it has finished churning, fold in the pistachios with a rubber spatula.

6. Put the ice cream in a tupperware container and freeze.
