Ingredients - Serves 6

Place the pistachios in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
In a medium saucepan, combine the ground pistachios, milk, cream, and half of the sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining sugar until well combined.
Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Transfer the gelato to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
