About this dish
There is no custard to cook here: finely ground pistachios are blended into cold milk, cream, and sugar, chilled, and poured straight into the machine.

Buy shelled, unsalted pistachios; a sweet pistachio spread brings its own sugar and other fats and cannot stand in at the same weight. Freezing the machine bowl ahead takes time of its own, on top of the listed prep.
