- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A few drops of pink natural food coloring optional
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped edible rose petals for garnish, optional
- Optional toppings: crushed pistachios fresh berries, or additional rose petals
Instructions
- Combine the base ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.
- Add flavorings: Remove from heat and stir in rose water and vanilla extract. Add a few drops of pink natural food coloring if desired.
- Cool the mixture: Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
- Churn the ice cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze for firmness: Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with edible rose petals or crushed pistachios if desired.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the mixture before chilling and add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter ice cream.
- Rose flavor: Rose water is strong, so start with ¼ cup and adjust to taste.
- Chilling: Ensure the mixture is fully chilled before churning for a smoother texture.
- No ice cream maker? Pour the mixture into a shallow container, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes until creamy.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Garnishes: Edible rose petals, crushed pistachios, or fresh berries enhance both flavor and presentation.
