    • About

    The pale green color of this ice cream is as delicate as the natural pistachio flavor. Try to find the greenest pistachios available for the recipe.

    Ingredients

    • 1 batch Basic Mixture for Milk-Based Ices
    • 1½ cups unsalted, shelled pistachios

    Method

    Half fill a saucepan with water and add the pistachios. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately drain the pistachios and pour them onto a towel. Gather up the edges of the towel to enclose the pistachios and rub hard to loosen the skins. Go over the pistachios to separate them from the skins. Measure ½ cup
