Introduce the video and the dish: pistachio gelato.

Gather ingredients: fresh whole milk, cane sugar, fresh whipped cream, pistachios, corn oil.

Combine fresh whole milk, fresh whipped cream, and cane sugar in a saucepan.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to boil and foam forms.

Once boiling, pour the mixture into a container to cool down and place it in the freezer.

Roast the pistachios in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Prepare pistachio paste using a food processor; if it fails, use a blender instead.

Add roasted pistachios and corn oil to the food processor or blender to create a paste.

Once the milk mixture is cool, combine it with the pistachio paste.

Turn on the gelato machine to cool it down before pouring in the mixture.

Pour the combined gelato mixture into the gelato machine and churn until ready.

Once churned, transfer the gelato to a container and freeze for 1 hour to set before serving.
