Recipe

In a deep pot add the milk and cream, give a gentle mix and keep the mixture on low heat

In the meantime mix the cornstarch and 5 tablespoons of warm milk, give it a good stir

Slowly add the cornstarch paste to the milk+cream pot, keep mixing continuously till the cornstarch mixes and the consistency is smooth

Add sugar and salt and give the mixture a nice stir

Keep the mixture on low heat and let it simmer

To check if the mixture has reached the right temperature put any spatula or spoon into the mixture, the back of the spatula or spoon should be coated by the ice cream mix

To double check, you can also vertically swipe your finger across the back of the spoon. If it stays clean then your mixture is ready

In case there are any tiny pieces of cornstarch in your mixture just strain it out

Add the vanilla essence and crushed pistachios

Keep the pistachios soaked in the mixture for about 30 minutes and strain it out

Once the mixture is at room temperature, cover it with clean film or foil and refrigerate it overnight. It needs to be super chill before you put it in the ice cream maker

As per the manufacturer's instructions make your pistachio ice cream in your ice cream maker!
