Ingredients
Pistachios, unpeeled, unsalted | 200 g |
Cream 33-35% | 500 ml |
Milk | 250 ml |
Eggs | 4 things. |
Sugar | 200 g |
Vanilla / Vanilla Extract / Vanilla Sugar | 1 pod / 1 tsp / 10 g |
Boiling water | 0.5 l |
Step cooking
- Thoroughly peel 200 g of shell pistachios.
- Pour nuts of 0.5 liters of boiling water. Let it stand for about 20 minutes - after that the husk will become soft, easy to clean.
- Separate the yolks from the proteins in 4 chicken eggs. For ice cream, only yolks are needed. Proteins can be frozen and used later.
- We send the peeled nuts to the blender and pour 250 ml of milk.
- Grind pistachios with milk at high speed for 2 minutes.
- Pour 500 ml of fat cream (33-35%) into a thick-bottomed stewpan. Add the pistachio mixture there.
- Pour also 100 g of sugar.
- We cut the vanilla pod and get the seeds (instead of it, you can take 1 tsp. Of vanilla extract or 10 g of vanilla sugar).
- We place seeds and pods in a stewpan. Pour 100 g of sugar into the yolks and beat thoroughly with a whisk - until they become light and increase in volume.
- Set the stewpan on the fire and, constantly stirring, bring the mixture to a boil. As soon as bubbles begin to appear on the surface, turn off the fire. In whipped yolks, add the pistachio-milk mixture. This should be done in small portions, constantly whipping with a whisk so that the yolks do not curl. Pour the whole mass into a stewpan and set on a stove, turning on a light fire.
- Boil the mixture, constantly stirring it and preventing it from boiling. As soon as the cream begins to thicken - remove from heat. Pass the mixture through a fine sieve.
- Pour the mass into the mold and let cool. To speed up the process, you can set the mold in a container of ice water.
- Stir the cooling mixture periodically, preventing the film from forming.
- When the mixture reaches room temperature - close the form with cling film and install in the freezer. Every 40 minutes (just in case we set a timer!) We take out a mold and thoroughly mix the ice cream - until it hardens, it will have to be done about 4-5 times. If you have an ice cream maker, you can do without troublesome mixing. You can serve ice cream by adding any sweets to your taste.
