Easy Pistachio Gelato Recipe
Pistachio Gelato is one of the great traditional Italian classics, always present in Italian gelato shops. It's a flavor that everyone loves and is well known abroad.To make an irresistible Italian pistachio gelato at home, I suggest a simple recipe.
Ingredients
- 80 g granulated sugar 4 tablespoons
- 250 ml milk 1 cup, whole and fresh
- 250 ml heavy cream 1 cup
- 150 g pistachio cream
Instructions
- Mix the sugar with the milk in a small saucepan. Melt the sugar over low heat while stirring. Bring the mixture to about 70°C (~160°F). THE MILK SHOULD NOT BOIL.
- Remove from heat and add the heavy cream. Whisk well, then add the pistachio cream.
- Use an immersion blender to emulsify the mixture. Allow to cool completely.
HOW TO MAKE PISTACHIO GELATO WITH ICE CREAM MAKER
- Pour the cooled mixture into the ice cream maker for as long as it takes to achieve perfect creaminess. The time will depend on the type of ice cream maker you use. In general, it takes about 40 minutes with a compressor ice cream maker. The pistachio gelato is ready when it's firm and creamy!
HOW TO MAKE PISTACHIO GELATO WITHOUT ICE CREAM MAKER
- Pour the mixture into a gelato container and place it in the freezer for about 5 hours.
- Every 30 minutes or so you will need to break up the frozen surface. Then remove from the freezer and beat with a hand or electric whisk on low speed for about 30 seconds.
