Homemade Rose Flavoured Ice Cream Cake Recipes

ROSE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl until the mixture looks paler and resembles a mousse.
• Put the cream in a saucepan and heat gently. Do not allow to boil - it will be the right temperature when you are just about able to bear to dip a finger in it!
• Pour the cream into the bowl containing the egg yolks and sugar, whisking all the time.
• Transfer the combined mixture into a bowl set over a pan of simmering water or, ideally a double-boiler, as you need to reheat it very gently.
• The mixture will gradually thicken until it looks like a custard (which is what it is). Stir regularly to make sure it does not stick while it is thickening.
• Remove the thick custard from the heat and transfer into a bowl.
• Add the rosewater to the custard. If you wish, stir in a few drops of red food colouring so that your ice cream will be pink. If you don't do this, your ice-cream will be cream-coloured but will still taste the same!
• Allow to cool to room temperature and then transfer to the fridge to become thoroughly chilled.
• When you are ready to make the ice-cream, transfer to your ice-cream maker and use according to your machine's instructions. If you do not have an ice-cream maker, you can place the mixture in a freezer-proof container, put in the freezer for several hours until half-frozen. Whisk the mixture and then return to the container and replace in the freezer until totally frozen.

HOMEMADE ROSE FLAVOURED ICE CREAM CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• To prepare Homemade Rose Flavoured Ice Cream Cake recipe, get prepped with all the ingredients required. Chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream needs to be kept ready.
• Slice off the upper portion of the cake and reserve the bottom half of the cake and proceed with making the sugar syrup.
• In a saucepan, add in water and then to this, add sugar. Once the sugar dissolves and the syrup starts to get thick switch off the flame (one string consistency). Now pour the sugar syrup on the chocolate cake and leave it for 5 minutes to absorb.
• Now take the Vanilla Ice Cream (I used my homemade vanilla Ice Cream). Let the ice cream become soft after thawing a bit. Then scoop the ice cream on top of the chocolate cake and spread it evenly with a spatula. Freeze it for 2-3 hours until it is well set.
• In a mixing bowl, take the full fat cream. Beat it in high speed using a hand blended until it forms soft peaks. Next add in the rose essence and beat once again till it is well combined.
• Now take the cake from freezer and scoop the cream over the cake, spread it evenly with a spatula.
• Once the cream is spread. Sprinkle with sugar balls and nuts throughout the cake. Cling wrap the cake.
• Freeze the Homemade Rose Flavoured Ice Cream Cake overnight or about 8 hours Remove it from the fridge after that, remove the cling wrap.
• Demould, slice Homemade Rose Flavoured Ice Cream Cake recipe and serve.

ENGLISH ROSE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line the base and sides of 3 x 20cm round loose-bottomed cake tins with baking parchment. Tip all the ingredients for the cake into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until well combined. Divide the mixture between the 3 cake tins and smooth the tops. Bake for 45 mins, swapping the tins halfway through so they cook evenly. Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tins, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the rose syrup, put the sugar in a pan with 100ml water and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and bubble for 1-2 mins, then remove from the heat. Add the rose water: start with 1 tsp and taste, as some varieties are much stronger than others - just be careful as the syrup will be really hot. Spoon half the syrup over the 3 sponges and set aside.
• Add 2 tbsp of the syrup to the raspberries and crush them with a fork. Push the raspberries through a sieve into a bowl and discard the seeds. Sift in the icing sugar and mix to a smooth icing. In a second bowl, add another 2 tbsp of the syrup and the vanilla to the cream and whisk until it holds soft peaks. Chill until needed.
• To assemble, place one cake, flat-side up, on a plate or cake stand, and top with half the cream and a third of the remaining raspberries (see tips, below). Sandwich another cake on top and add the remaining cream, another third of the raspberries, then the last cake. Smooth the raspberry icing over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides. To decorate, we used a mixture of rose petal pieces (available from cookshops or online), homemade crystallised rose petals (see step-by-step, above) and the reserved raspberries.
