The perfect accompaniment to any dessert, this classic, gloriously green ice cream is a favourite among adults and children alike. Using an ice cream machine makes this an absolute doddle, and means you get your ice cream sooner too!
Ingredients
- 100g pistachios, shelled
- 150ml milk
- 100g golden caster sugar
- 300ml double cream
- 300ml ready-made custard
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
Method
- Tip 3/4 of the pistachios into a food processor or spice grinder and blitz into fine dust. Add these into a pan along with the milk and sugar, and gently bring to the boil whilst stirring. Remove from the heat, leave to cool completely, then chill in the fridge.
- Finely chop the reserved pistachios and whip the cream to soft peaks. Fold in the custard and almond extract until everything is evenly mixed. Pour into an ice cream machine.
