Ingredients for Apricot Pistachio Ice Cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- Whipped Cream
- Apricot Puree
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
How to Make Apricot Pistachio Ice Cream
- Combine apricots, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apricots are softened and the mixture has thickened slightly (about 15-20 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Puree the apricot mixture using an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually whisk the warm apricot puree into the cream mixture.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or skins.
- Stir in the shelled pistachios.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-30 minutes).
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to harden.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
