Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, but do not boil.
2
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a ladleful of the warm milk mixture to the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
3
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Stir in the almond extract and the finely ground pistachios. If desired, add a drop of green food coloring for an authentic look. Let cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
5
Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
6
When the ice cream is almost done, stir in the coarsely chopped almonds for added crunch.
7
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
