Ingredients

Sugar 225 g
Ice cream stabilizer (SE 302) 5 g
Whole fresh milk 840 g
Milk powder 65 g
Atomized glucose 95 g
Flavored pistachio paste (Mane) 65 g
Pure pistachio paste Smeralda (Fugar) 65 g
Heavy cream 240 g
Egg yolks 115 g
Peeled pistachios (from Iran or Sicily) 80 g

Instructions

1

Prepare the Pistachios

Mix 10% of the sugar with the stabilizer. Preheat the oven to 150°C. Spread the pistachios on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Let cool, then chop. Set aside.

2

Heating and Mixing

Heat the milk, milk powder, atomized glucose, pistachio paste, and cream. When the mixture reaches 35°C, add the sugar-stabilizer mixture; when it reaches 40°C, add the egg yolks.

3

Aging and Freezing

Cook like a crème anglaise until it reaches 35°C (sic, suspected to be 85°C), stirring until thickened. Refrigerate to age for 24 hours, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Churn and freeze in an ice cream maker or sorbet machine. Add the peeled roasted pistachios at the end of the churning process. Store in a freezer at -14°C.
