Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup cream cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup crushed pistachios
- ¼ cup rose water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grab a mixing bowl and combine ¼ cup granulated sugar with ½ cup cream cheese, whisking until the texture becomes completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Pour in 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, ¼ cup rose water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is thoroughly integrated and silky.
- Gently incorporate ½ cup crushed pistachios into the liquid base, ensuring an even distribution of the nutty pieces throughout your mixture.
- Set up your ice cream maker and pour the entire mixture inside, churning at medium speed for 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft, creamy consistency.
- Transfer the freshly churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a smooth surface.
- Place the container in your freezer at 0°F, allowing the ice cream to firm up for 4-5 hours until it reaches a perfect scoopable texture.
- Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly, then scoop and enjoy your rose-infused creation.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest texture and easiest mixing.
- Use high-quality rose water to create a delicate, authentic flavor without overwhelming the dessert.
- Roughly chop pistachios to provide a pleasant crunch and prevent them from getting too powdery in the ice cream.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with coconut cream and use a plant-based condensed milk alternative.
