1
Pour the milk and heavy cream into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until steaming, but do not boil.
2
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and thick.
3
Slowly pour a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Tempering the eggs.
4
Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Let it cool completely.
6
Once cooled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7
When the ice cream is almost done churning, add the ground pistachios and chopped, toasted almonds, allowing them to distribute evenly.
8
Transfer the finished ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 3 hours to allow it to firm up to the desired consistency.
