Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 1/4 cups full fat cream
  • 1/2 cup fine sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp iced water
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom or 4 whole cardomom pods

Directions:

  1. Prep time does not include the chilling time
  2. Slowly heat milk with pistachios and cardamon in a heavy-based saucepan.
  3. When almost boiling, remove pan from heat and cover and leave to infuse for about 20 minutes.
  4. Beat the egg yolks, sugar and salt until the mixture is very pale and whisk leaves a trail.
  5. Slowly add the strained warm milk mixture, whisking all the time.
  6. Return mixture to the pan and cook over a very low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard is thick enough to coat back of spoon.
  7. Remove from heat to a bowl and chill until very cold.
  8. Whip the cream with the iced water until it forms soft peaks.
  9. Combine with the chilled custard and freeze in ice cream maker. Spoon into individual moulds if wished.
  10. Notes:can be made without an icecream maker.
  11. Make sure the freezer is at its coldest setting and whisk the mixure twice over several hours.
  12. Using ice cream maker: have 2 tablespoons of pistachios, roughly chopped, added in at the freezing stage.
  13. A very tiny amount of green food coloring can be added so the icecream is the **palest** green (it gets some slight color from the nuts too).
