Start by making the Sicilian-style gelato base: heat 1 1/4 cups whole milk and 3/4 cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles appear around the edge, but do not boil.
In a bowl, whisk together the remaining milk, 3/4 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until the starch dissolves completely.
Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the hot milk and cream in the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 egg yolk until pale. Slowly add some of the hot milk mixture to the yolk while whisking constantly to temper it and prevent curdling.
Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan and stir well. Whisk thoroughly to remove any lumps and allow the mixture to cool.
Chill the gelato base completely in the refrigerator, ideally overnight.
To make the fruit gelato, combine 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the fruit softens and the syrup thickens.
Puree the cooled fruit mixture until smooth, then fold it into the chilled gelato base.
Transfer the blend to an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy.
For pistachio gelato, boil 1 1/2 cups raw, unsalted, shelled pistachios in water for 2 minutes. Drain, cool, pat dry, and peel the skins off.
