The chopped pistachios to decorate and enjoy your best recipes

Step 1: Mix the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. In a pot, bring the milk, cream, cardamom and vanilla to boil.

Step 2: Pour the boiling milk mixture over the cold mixture (eggs + sugar) while stirring.

Step 3: Return to heat and continue to stir until the cream starts to thicken.

Step 4: This stage of cooking is known as nappe which is achieved between 82-85C.

Step 5: If the cream is not heated sufficiently, the ice-cream will be thin and watery. Remove the pot from the heat and stop the cooking process by place it in cold water mixed with ice cubes.

Step 6: Pass the mixture though a strainer and transfer to your ice-cream machine.

Step 7: Add the crushed pistachios and almonds before churning. Follow manufacturers instructions. Half way through the churning, add the honey (while ice-cream is still churning).
