Ingredients

397g can condensed milk
410g can evaporated milk
300ml whipping cream
¼ tsp ground cardamom
Few drops of vanilla essence
25g ground almonds
25g pistachio nuts, ground, plus extra whole nuts to garnish
Fresh mint, to garnish

Method

Put the milks and cream in a large pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring constantly (the mixture should be thickened and reduced). Stir in the cardamom and vanilla essence, then remove from the heat and cool completely.
Mix in the ground nuts and pour into 8 x 100ml moulds (or use empty yogurt pots). Freeze for 6-8 hours.
To serve, hold the moulds under warm water and turn out onto plates. Decorate with pistachios and mint.
