Went to Rome and got this recipe for pistachio gelato. Is this right?
I ask because of the egg yolks. Is this gonna make me sick? It mentions nothing about cooking the yolks. What should I do?

For context, part of my tour included a pasta making glass and at the end they gave out codes for their recipes. I’m excited to try the gelato, but the raw eggs are what concern me.

The recipe seems far from an Italian gelato. It’s too high in fat.

This is (loosely) a home kitchen version of gelato, though honestly, it’s a recipe for semifreddo and not gelato.
Gelato is cream and milk, not whipped cream, and the milk is heated as part of the process. No eggs, and gelato gets churned like ice cream before they put it into the tray and sell it.

I don’t know how good that recipe is, but real pistachio gelato is **not** bright green. The real pistacchio gets a brownish-green shade not that bright green. So if it was not just a picture for advertising purpose and they were selling a green ice cream, that’s some food colorant they added to the mix and it already says a lot about how quality was less important than other features.
