Rich, creamy, and naturally nutty, this lightened pistachio gelato is a refreshing homemade treat perfect for any season.

Pistachio Gelato Ingredients:

1 cup shelled pistachios

¾ cup sugar substitute (erythritol or stevia blend)

2 cups skim milk

1 cup reduced-fat cream

4 large egg yolks

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Extra chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)

Pistachio Gelato Directions:

In a food processor, blend the pistachios with ¼ cup sugar substitute into a coarse paste.

In a saucepan, heat skim milk and reduced-fat cream over medium heat until just simmering.

In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, remaining ½ cup sugar substitute, and a pinch of salt until pale and thick.

Slowly pour hot milk mixture into egg mixture while whisking.

Return mixture to saucepan and stir over low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and mix in pistachio paste and vanilla extract.

Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool to room temperature.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Churn in an ice cream maker until soft-serve consistency is reached.

Freeze 2 hours or until firm. Serve with chopped pistachios if desired.
