Notes

  • Be sure to measure the pistachios after they are shelled to get the correct amount.
  • If you want your gelato to be greener, blanch the pistachios and then remove the brown skins. Place the shelled pistachios in a bowl with cold water and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain, cover with boiling water, and let sit for 3-4 minutes. Finally, rinse with cold water. You can then peel by hand or place the pistachios on a clean kitchen towel and rub the skins off.
  • Always temper the yolks by adding the hot milk slowly to the yolks instead of pouring the yolks directly into the hot milk to prevent curdling.
  • If you prefer a LIGHTER texture, use whole eggs instead of egg yolks because egg whites contain more moisture and can add more air to the gelato.
  • If you happen to have premade pistachio paste, use this: combine 1 1/3 cups (10½oz/295g) pistachio paste with the heavy whipping cream in a bowl and proceed with the directions starting at Step 4.
  • Serve with Homemade Ice Cream Cones!
