From David Leibovitz and his coolbook Le Perfect Scoop - filled with all the recipes you want for cold treats! His recipes are always human friendly and for me always a hit!

 

ingredients:

2 cups (500ml) whole milk
1/3 cup (65g) sugar
2 tablespoons (16g) cornstarch, also known as corn flour
7 ounces (200g) pistachio paste, make your own or find Bronte pistachio paste
a few drops of lemon or orange juice

directions:

1. Make a slurry by mixing the 1/4 cup of the milk with the cornstarch, mixing until the starch is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

2. Heat the rest of the milk in a medium-sized saucepan with the sugar.

3. When it almost starts to boil, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook at gentle simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

4. Remove from heat, scrape into a bowl, and chill thoroughly, preferably overnight.

5. Once chilled, whisk in the pistachio paste and just a few drops of citrus juice until smooth.

6. Freeze the gelato in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
