A very special ice cream, traditionally served at wedding banquets in India. An ideal dessert when entertaining but preferably after a light main course as it is very rich!

- 2 eggs, separated
- 3-4 drops almond essence

- 175 g chopped pistachio nuts
- to decorate
- grated rind of 1 lime
Method
Place the cream and condensed milk in a pan. Heat very gently for 5 min. Remove from heat. Leave to cool slighly.
Beat together the cream, condensed milk and egg yolks. Strain into a pan with a little almond essence and green colouring. Heat VERY GENTLY for 3-5 min until thickened, stirring constantly.
Stir the nuts into the pan. Remove from heat. Pour into a shallow freezerproof container. Cool. Then freeze until mushy or half-frozen.
Then whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff but not dry. Remove ice cream from freezer and fold in the egg whites. Return to the freezer. Freeze until firm.
