July is National Ice Cream Month. As if I needed an actual excuse to eat more ice cream, I am embracing the holiday and bringing you a new ice cream recipe each Friday during the month of July to celebrate. And lucky for us, July has not four, but five Fridays this year. Woohoo! I also needed a good excuse to use my ice cream maker more often. Ironically, I used it more over the winter than I have so far this summer. I am kick-starting the month of ice cream with a Pistachio gelato. I’ve had this recipe in the back of my head for some time, for it was either after I received my ice cream maker or I found out I was no longer allergic to nuts that my Chief Culinary Consultant suggested I make pistachio ice cream. I never forgot, but just never got around to it. Me being lazy about ice cream? Totally ridiculous, and I needed to right this wrong. The first thing I did when searching for a pistachio ice cream recipe was, of course, to flip open The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz. Surprisingly, it doesn’t have a regular pistachio ice cream recipe (although it does have a dried apricot and pistachio ice cream that looks wonderful!). So then, I Googled. I found this recipe from Chocolate & Zucchini that was adapted from a recipe that David actually provided on his blog. Called a gelato because it uses the traditional Sicilian technique of thickening the custard with cornstarch, rather than egg yolks, this is truly magnificent. Creamy, flavorful and a little crunch of pistachio in each bite. It makes me want to do nothing but sit at a sidewalk cafe in Italy and eat gelato all summer long! If you can’t imagine ice cream without a true-to-form, egg-based custard, then I would recommend this recipe from Use Real Butter. It’s very similar to the one below, except that it uses egg yolks to thicken the custard. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
