Pistachio ice cream is a classic, but it very difficult to find a good one. Most are done with colorants and flavoring ingredients instead of the true pistachios. It is easy to see if the gelato maker has used artificial pistachio just looking at the color: Ice cream with true pistachio nuts will be a darker green and a great natural pistachio flavor!

Reserve 2 tablespoons pistachios for decoration. Grind the pistachios in a food processor until reduced to a fine powder. Place milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar.

When the sugar is dissolved and the milk starts bubbling, turn heat off. Add the pistachios, and set aside to cool to room temperature. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or better overnight.

When the pistachio mixture is cold transfer it to a ice cream maker and follow the ice cream machine instructions.
