Do you love ice cream? Who doesn't love it?
I love ice cream especially with these flavors: avocado, cookies and cream, and gabi (taro in English). Those are just my top three ice cream flavor favorites.
But when i tasted pistachio ice cream, i guess i have another favorite. Pistachio ice cream tastes good and it's a little bit minty.
How about you? Have you tasted pistachio ice cream? If you haven't and you want to taste it, you can visit Pret A' Manger-The Pearl Manila hotel in General Luna, in front of Emilio Aguinaldo College near U.N Avenue, Manila or you make your own.
Here's how to make it:
1) Finely grind 1 cup of pistachios and 1/4 of sugar in food processor or blender.
2) Boil milk and ground pistachio mixture in a large pan.
3) Remove from heat.
4) Mix in almond extract.
5) Whisk egg yolks and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in medium boil.
6) Gradually heat in hot milk mixture.
7) Return custard to saucepan. Cook over low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes (do not boil).
8) Strain into large bowl. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
9) Stir 1 cup whipping cream and chopped pistachios into custard,
10) Process mixture in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
11) Transfer to a container.
12) Freeze (ice cream can be prepared 3 days ahead).
