Tips:

When heating the milk mixture, stir continuously until it reaches around 80 degrees; then remove from heat.

Make sure the cooled milk mixture is completely cooled before adding to the cream.

Beat the cream to about 60% whipped state, which should be slightly runny.
To achieve a good ice cream texture, mix multiple times.
The more you mix, the finer the texture; there will be no icy crystals.
Ensure each mixture is evenly stirred and free of clumps before adding in the last step to prevent nuts from sinking. The more times you stir, the finer the texture will be, without any icy grains.
Make sure to stir evenly each time, until it no longer forms clumps.
Add the nut pieces during the last stir to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
