Pista Ice Cream Recipe - Pistachio Ice Cream Recipe
Pista ice cream is my favorite flavour. It is so easy to make at home. I made the base using egg yolks and it gave very nice creamy texture to the ice cream.
Ingredients
- Milk - 500 ml 1.2 liter
- Egg Yolks - 4
- Sugar - ½ cup to ¾ cup
- Pista Extract - few drops
- Green Food Colour few drops
- Chopped Pistachios - ¼ cup
Instructions
- Take egg yolks, sugar in a bowl and whisk till pale and light.
- Heat milk in a sauce pan till it starts to simmer around the edges.
- Now add little of the hot milk in the egg and sugar and whisk well. Now add all of the remaining milk and mix well.
- Pour the mix back into the pan and cook on low heat till the custard thickens. It should coat the back of the spoon.
- Now strain the mix.
- Add food colour and extract. Mix well.
- Freeze the ice cream mixture for 4 to 5 hours.
- Now use a hand blender to whisk for 5 to 6 mins. It will get pale and fluffy.
- Pour it back in the pan and freeze.
- Scoop and serve.
