Rose Water Ice Cream Recipes

ROSE WATER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the milk slowly in a pan to boiling point.
• Meanwhile in a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until smooth and foamy; pour the heated milk over the egg mixture, beating all the time.
• Return the mixture to the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens slightly to form a coating over the back of the spoon (do not let it boil).
• Pour into a bowl, cool then refrigerate until chilled, stir in the cream and rosewater then either churn in an ice-cream maker or pour into a shallow plastic box and place in the freezer until completely frozen (after 2 hours of freezing, you may wish to remove the ice cream from the freezer and whisk it to remove any ice crystals that form at the edges - repeat this twice more during the freezing process).
• 30 minutes before serving, place the ice cream in the fridge to soften.

HOMEMADE ROSE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk together the light cream, heavy cream, milk, sugar, rose water, salt, and pink food coloring in a bowl. Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately for soft-serve style or transfer to a container and store in the freezer for a few hours for a firmer ice cream.

LYCHEE & ROSEWATER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Tip the lychees with their syrup into a food processor, add the raspberries (they are only there to make it pink) and blitz until smooth. Add the rosewater and blitz again.
• In a clean bowl, whisk the cream to soft peaks. Stir in the lychee and raspberry mix and the condensed milk, and give it all one final quick whisk to get rid of any lumps. Tip it into a plastic container with a lid. Freeze for at least 3 hrs - there's no need to churn it.
• When it's ready, spoon into tumblers and sprinkle each one with 1 tsp popping candy.

PISTACHIO ROSE WATER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Spray a 9 by 4 1/2 by 2 3/4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line with plastic wrap, overlapping edges; set aside. Coarsely chop 2 cups pistachio nuts; combine with milk in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, and steep for 1 hour.
• Combine egg yolks and sugar in bowl of electric mixer. Using whip attachment, beat at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, strain milk; discard nuts. Bring milk back to a simmer.
• Whisk half of the hot milk into the sugar mixture, and return to saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until thick enough to coat a wooden spoon, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Stir in cream; pass through a fine strainer. Pour into a medium bowl; chill over ice bath. Stir in rose water.
• Pour half of mixture into an ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Before removing ice cream, add 1/2 cup whole pistachio nuts, churning until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Spoon ice cream into prepared pan, and transfer to freezer. Freeze remaining mixture in ice-cream maker, adding remaining pistachio nuts at end. Remove pan from freezer; add second layer of ice cream. Cover with overlapping plastic wrap; freeze.
• To serve, invert loaf pan onto serving plate. Cover bottom and sides of pan with cold wet towel; rub for about 1 minute. Pull plastic wrap down; ice cream will slide from pan. Remove plastic wrap, slice, and serve.

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.

CHERRY-ROSE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Cook 1/2 cup water and sugar in 4-qt. saucepan on medium-high heat 1 to 2 min. or until sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon. Bring to boil; cook 7 min. or until slightly thickened. (Do not stir.) Stir in nuts; cook 6 to 9 min. or until nuts are evenly coated with glaze, stirring constantly. (Glaze will appear dry.) Cook and stir 1 to 3 min. or until glaze melts and caramelizes. Remove from heat; immediately stir in 1 Tbsp. drink mix. Spread onto foil-covered baking sheet; cool. Break into clusters. Reserve 1/3 cup nut clusters for garnish.
• Meanwhile, bring remaining water to boil. Pour over petals in small bowl; let stand 10 min. Stir in remaining drink mix.
• Stir undrained petals and remaining nut clusters into ice cream in large bowl until well blended. Spoon into 9x5-inch loaf pan. Freeze 2 hours. Unmold dessert just before serving. Serve topped with COOL WHIP and reserved nut clusters.

ROSE PETAL ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Wash the rose petals in cold water and pat dry. In a heavy, non-reactive saucepan, place petals of 2 roses, milk, cream, and ½ cup of the sugar. Place over medium heat and heat to just under boiling. Let steep about a half hour to infuse.
• Combine the egg yolks and the remaining ½ cup of sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk until thick and pale yellow. Bring the rose/cream mixture back to a near boil and whisk ¼ of the warm mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Then pour all of the egg mixture into the rose milk and place over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Strain into a bowl and chill on ice. Pour into the ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer finished ice cream into bowl and add the torn petals from the remaining rose. Fold into ice cream and pack into freezing container.
