Ingredients

3/4 cup unsalted shelled pistachios (about 3 and 3/4 ounces)

3/4 cup sugar

2 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon almond extract

5 large egg yolks

2 drops green food coloring (optional)

Chopped unsalted pistachios

Directions

Finely grind 3/4 cup pistachios and 1/4 cup sugar in food processor.

Combine pistachio mixture, milk and almond extract in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.

Whisk yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl to blend.

Gradually whisk milk mixture into yolk mixture, slowly so as not to cook the eggs.

Return mixture to saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens slightly and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 8 minutes (do not boil).

Remove from heat.

Whisk in food coloring (if desired).

Refrigerate custard until cold, about 3 hours.

Process custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

Transfer to a covered container and freeze.

(Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.)
