Pour slowly into milk mix in a fine stream, distributing evenly as you go.   Add pistachios at this stage, and using a knife, gently create swirling patterns of colour throughout the milk mixture. Freeze for 24 hours. Turn out onto serving platter. Present with extra fresh fruit and nuts, and cut into inch thick slices to serve.
