Ingredients

2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
8 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup pistachio paste

Steps:

Put cream and milk into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat the mixture until hot (do not let simmer), about 2 minutes. Remove mixture from heat; cover, and let stand 30 minutes.
Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Put yolks, sugar, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until yolk mixture has tripled in volume and can hold a ribbon on surface for 2 seconds, about 3 minutes.
Reduce speed to medium. Ladle 1 cup cream mixture in a slow stream into yolk mixture to temper it. Add another cup cream mixture; beat to combine. Transfer mixture to saucepan; cook over medium- high heat, stirring constantly, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon and an instant-read thermometer registers 180 degrees; 5 to 7 minutes. Stir 1/4 cup pistachio paste into custard.
Pour custard through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl set in ice-water bath. Let cool completely, stirring often.
Freeze custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately, or freeze in an airtight plastic container until ready to serve. If frozen for more than 4 hours, let ice cream stand at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

I'm going to try making this ice cream again soon, but I'm going to use less sugar and see how it turns out.

I'm not sure why, but my ice cream didn't turn out as green as the picture in the recipe. It was more of a pale yellow color.

I had a hard time finding pistachio extract. I ended up using almond extract instead, and it turned out fine.

This ice cream is a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pistachio, but I really enjoyed this ice cream. The pistachio flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This ice cream is a great way to use up leftover pistachios. I always have a bag of pistachios in my pantry, so this recipe is perfect for me.

This ice cream is the perfect summer treat. It's light and refreshing, and the pistachio flavor is so refreshing.

I was a little skeptical about making ice cream without an ice cream maker, but this recipe proved me wrong. The ice cream was just as creamy and delicious as any I've had from an ice cream shop.
