Rose Cream Recipes

ROSE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Add the saffron to the warm milk and set aside for 15 minutes.
• Combine the softened ice cream, saffron with milk, rose syrup, cardamom, and pistachios in a large bowl. Stir until the ice cream is smooth and pink in color. Scoop the ice cream back into the container and freeze 2 hours, or until ready to eat.

ROSE CREAM

Steps:

• This rose cream is an element of our Rose City Waffle. We serve it on a fresh Oregon Hood strawberry-topped waffle with a sauce made from local rhubarb. It makes a lovely dessert piped or spooned into a martini glass with fresh strawberries or raspberries placed on top.
• Soften the gelatin in the cold water for 5 minutes in a microwave-safe container. After 5 minutes, microwave on high for about 11 seconds. Check to see if the gelatin is fully dissolved. If not, microwave in 2 second bursts, stirring each time, until gelatin is dissolved but not hot. Or, you could warm the gelatin in a saucepan over very low heat just to dissolve. Set aside.
• Place the cream and sugar into a food processor using the steel blade. Turn on and process until cream is softly whipped. This should take less than a minute. Alternatively, you could whip the cream with a mixer or whisk.
• Add the sour cream, rose water, and the food coloring, if using, to the processor. Turn on and immediately begin to pour the prepared gelatin in a steady stream into the food processor. Blend for 3 seconds, open the processor lid, scrape the sides and process again for a few seconds more.
• If you have used a mixer, whip in the sour cream, rose water and food coloring, if using, just to blend. Pour in the gelatin in a steady stream, whisking constantly.
• Pour this cream into a glass or allow it to set up and scoop or pipe it. Serve with fresh strawberries or raspberries.

ROSE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring the milk to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan. Slowly beat the hot milk into the eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly. Be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble. Remove from the heat and pour the hot custard through a strainer into a large clean bowl to cool slightly, then stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon rose water. Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight. Stir the chilled custard, then freeze in 1 or 2 batches in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add 2 tablespoons crushed candied rose petals to the machine when the ice cream is semi-frozen. Allow the machine to mix in the flowers. When finished, the ice cream will be soft but ready to eat. For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze at least 2 hours.

ROSE CREAM

Steps:

• Soak the leaves of gelatin for 5 minues, then squeeze out and dissolve in rosewater in a cup, placed in a pan of boiling water.
• Gently heat a quarter of the cream, dissolve the sugar and then stir in the gelatin.

• Pour into a wetted mould and chill until it sets.
• Tip from the mould and decorate with petals or fruit.

PETITS CHOUX WITH ROSE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring butter, sugar, salt, and 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in flour. Return to medium-high heat; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture pulls away from sides, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on low speed until slightly cooled, about 1 minute. Raise speed to medium. Add whole eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Test batter by touching it with your finger and lifting to form a soft peak. If a soft peak does not form, mix in egg white a little at a time until it does.
• Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 9/16-inch plain round tip (such as Ateco No. 807); set aside. Dip a 1-inch round cookie cutter in flour; mark circles 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper. Pipe batter into circles to fill. Gently smooth and round tops with a moistened fingertip.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks to cool.
• Poke a small hole in bottom of each choux with a 5/16-inch French tip (such as Ateco No. 863). Transfer 1 cup pastry cream to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain round tip (such as Ateco No. 802). Fill each choux with pastry cream.
• Fold remaining 3/4 cup pastry cream into whipped cream until nearly incorporated but streaks are still visible. Put 6 filled choux into each serving dish; top with whipped cream, dividing evenly. Garnish with rose petals if desired.
