Pistachio Ice Cream "Festive"

Ingredients

Milk 3 cups

Sugar 2.5 cups

Eggs 4

Gelatin 5 g

Starch 10 g

Pistachios 20 g

Almond essence 1 ml

Green food coloring 1 g

Mix the eggs with sugar, add the milk, and bring to a boil. Stir constantly, bring to a boil, remove from heat, strain, and cool. Dissolve the starch in cold water and pour boiling water over it.

Soak the gelatin in cold water and, once it has swelled well, return to the heat to dissolve. Pour the prepared starch and gelatin into the egg-milk mixture, add food coloring, vanilla, toasted and finely ground pistachios, and almond essence, and mix well.

 Pour the mixture into a cylindrical container with a tight-fitting lid and place it inside another, larger container. Fill the space between the sides with crushed ice mixed with coarse salt.

Swirl the container around in the ice until the mixture hardens. Periodically open the lid and scrape off the frozen mixture from the sides. Continue swirling until completely frozen, about half an hour.

Enjoy!
