Remove bowl from heat and whisk in pistachio paste, then cool over an ice bath. Once cooled, fold whipped cream into egg mixture in 3 batches.
- Pour mixture evenly into 6cm silicon half sphere moulds and level off. Set aside in the freezer until set, about 1 and half hours.
- Once firm, remove half spheres from moulds and stick two half spheres together to form whole spheres. Use fingers to gently rub seam together and smooth over. Set spheres aside on a paper lined tray in the freezer.
