To make this Pistachio Cardamom Ice Cream, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 egg yolks

To start, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, pistachios, cardamom, and salt in a medium saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a simmer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
When ready to serve, scoop the Pistachio Cardamom Ice Cream into bowls and garnish with additional chopped pistachios, if desired.
This Pistachio Cardamom Ice Cream is a perfect blend of creamy and nutty flavors, with a hint of exotic cardamom spice. It is a great dessert to serve at any gathering, and is sure to impress your guests with its unique and delicious taste.
