Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150g) raw shelled pistachios
- 1 tbsp (15ml) neutral oil
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, chilled
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, chilled
- 1/2 cup (100g) honey
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp (3g) almond extract
- 1/2 cup (75g) roasted salted pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions:
- Place the raw pistachios in the food processor and pulse until they form a coarse meal.
- Continue processing on high, adding the neutral oil and salt, for 3-5 minutes until the mixture transforms into a glossy, fluid butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the chilled whole milk and honey until fully integrated.
- Stir in the homemade pistachio paste, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking gently to combine without incorporating too much air.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your frozen ice cream maker bowl and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 15-25 minutes).
- During the final 2 minutes of churning, pour in the chopped roasted pistachios.
- Stop churning when the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
