    Great! Halved the recipe, since my KitchenAid ice cream maker is for about 1 quart. Definitely let the mixture "marinate" (cool for 2 hours because that infuses the mixture with pistachio flavor.

    A very good pistachio ice cream. I substituted 1 Tbsp of rose water for the almond extract and added shaved marzipan. Yes, shaved marzipan.

    2 quarts would be way too much for any ice cream machine I know, so you'd definitely want to halve this recipe.

    This ice cream is one of the best things I've eaten recently. Really delicious. The texture of mine is closer to gelato really, but it's fantastic. I halved the recipe and switched the milk/cream ratio, so 1.5 cups of milk, 1 cup of cream. Perfect. I also added maybe two tablespoons of pistachio butter before churning, just for a more intense taste. Really fantastic.

    The eggs in my custard just curdled. I followed the instructions exactly and ended up with what looks like runny eggs.

    I made this recipe for my birthday and it was a hit. My family and friends loved it. I have kept this recipe since 2002 but only posted my review right now. It takes some time to make it but it's well worth it.

    The recipe was great as far as flavor goes, I found it to be a bit too much ice cream through, I would probably make half next time. It was difficult to get the pistachios to a fine enough grind, I would grind 3/4 of them REALLY fine and keep a 1/4 to grind up in bigger chunks. Instead of putting it in the fridge to cool I filled my sink 1/4 way up with ice water and let the bowl cool in there, be careful not to get any water into your ice cream mix, it was stirred every couple of mins and cooled in about 15 mins. vs. 2 hours. If you wanted it be a bit less fatty I think it would be fine to have a bit higher milk to cream ratio. Very rich and nice!

    This pistachio ice cream is great & is now a new family favorite. It's creamy taste reminds us of the pistachio gelato we loved in Spain & Europe. It takes some prep time but it's worth it!

    If you like pistachios you will love this. The hardest part was finding a large quantity of shelled pistachios.
