Ingredients
Scale
2 cups Heavy Cream
1 cup Whole Milk
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Pistachios, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons Rose Water
4 Egg Yolks
1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Pistachios: Coarsely chop or grind the pistachios.
- Create the Custard Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, milk, and half the sugar. Stir until warm but not boiling.
- Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and remaining sugar until pale and creamy.
- Temper the Egg Yolks: Slowly pour about a cup of the warm cream mixture into the yolks while whisking continuously, then add this back to the saucepan.
- Cook the Custard: Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until thickened (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Add Flavors: Stir in chopped pistachios and rose water. Let cool, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker and churn as directed.
- Freeze and Serve: Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours. Serve with garnishes.
Notes
For a vegan alternative, substitute silken tofu for egg yolks and coconut milk for cream.
