Instructions

1.For the Pistachio Ice Cream:
2.Set aside 1/2 cup of peeled pistachios and grind the rest of them in a food processor.
3.In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming.
4.In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light yellow. Slowly pour in the hot milk, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
5.Cook on low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon.
6.Remove from heat and add the ground pistachios, whipped cream, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
7.Transfer to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fold in the remaining pistachios. Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
8.For the Almond Biscotti:
9.Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
10.In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
11.Add the milk and mix until smooth.
12.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing well until a sticky dough forms.
13.Mix in the toasted almonds.
14.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a log about 14 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place on a baking sheet and flatten slightly to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
15.Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
16.With a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on the baking sheet cut side down and bake for about 10 minutes on each side until crisp and golden. Allow to cool.
17.For the Whipped Cream:
18.Chill a bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10 minutes.
19.Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and whisk on high speed until medium peaks form.
20.Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
