1. In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the milk, cream,
¼ cup of the sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine and bring the mixture just to
a boil.
2. While the milk/cream mixture is heating, combine the yolks and ¼ cup of the
sugar in a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk, beat
until mixture is pale and thick.
3. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade, combine the
pistachios with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Pulse to roughly chop the
nuts and set aside.
4. Once the milk/cream mixture has just come to a boil, whisk about
hot mixture into the yolk/sugar mixture. Add another
return the combined mixture to the saucepan. Using a wooden spoon, stir the
mixture constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly and coats the back
of the spoon. This mixture must NOT boil or the yolks will overcook – the pro-
cess should only take a few minutes.
5. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Stir in the
chopped pistachios and the almond extract. Let the base come to room tem-
perature. Then cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight.
6. Turn the machine ON, pour mixture into the freezer bowl and let mix until
thickened, resembling a soft serve consistency. Timing can vary between
10 and 25 minutes. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place
in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before
serving.
