Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • milk
  • sugar
Stir milk and sugar together in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Boil three minutes, whisking little or not at all because a stirred dairy syrup boils up.
  • ⅓ cup pistachio butter
Transfer to a mixing bowl and cool to room temperature.
Cooling the syrup
  • almond extract
  • vanilla extract
  • gel-style green food coloring
Add a third of a cup of pistachio butter, two small drops of almond extract, a little vanilla extract and, optionally, one drop of green gel food coloring; whisk and refrigerate until cold.
Almond and vanilla extract
  • 2 cup heavy whipping cream
Whip a couple of cups of very cold heavy whipping cream in a chilled bowl with a hand mixer or whisk to very soft peaks only; over-whipped cream gives too much air.
Mix in half the chilled pistachio mixture until incorporated, then the rest, without overmixing.
Combining without overmixing
  • dark chocolate chips
  • chopped roasted salted pistachios
Transfer to a frozen container and scatter over the frozen dark chocolate chips and chopped roasted salted pistachios; better not to stir in the second addition.
Adding chocolate chips and pistachios
Press plastic wrap onto the surface, put on the lid and freeze until solid, four or five hours, ideally overnight.
Covering and freezing
Scoop, mixing the sunken chips and nuts through, and garnish with finely chopped pistachio.
