PISTACHIO ICE CREAM
Chopped pistachios and a touch of almond extract add rich flavor to this
delicious ice cream.
Preparation: 5 minutes, plus 20 – 25 minutes chilling time, optional 2
hours to ripen.
Makes eight servings.
3/4 cup whole milk, well chilled
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups heavy cream, well chilled
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
2/3 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped (may use plain or
lightly salted)
In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk and
granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes on
low speed. Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla, and almond extract. Turn the
machine ON; pour mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened,
about 25 to 30 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of freezing, add the
