Ingredients
  

  • 300 g raspberries fresh
  • 40 g pistachio nuts
  • 1/4 cup sugar substitute of choice or xylitol (55g
  • 1 tablespoon 20ml rose water
  • 1 3/4 cups 430ml cream, thickened, regular fat
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 egg yolks

Instructions
 

  • Grease and line the loaf pan with cling wrap or baking paper. Allow a generous overhang to help remove the log.
  • Roughly chop the pistachios and lightly dry roast them in a pan.
  • Place the eggs, egg yolks and sugar substitute in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, making sure that the bowl does not touch the water.
  • Immediately reduce to a simmer and whisk the egg mixture for about 5 minutes or until it is of a light custard consistency and can form a figure 8 on the surface.
  • Remove from the heat and continue whisking until it cools. Set aside with a cover of cling film on the surface to prevent a skin forming.
  • Whip the cream and gently fold into the custard mixture with the pistachios, rose water and half of the raspberries.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, cover and freeze overnight or until it is firm.
  • Remove from the freezer and allow to stand for at least 5 minutes before turning onto a serving plate.
  • Top with the remaining raspberries.
