Super Quick Exotic Rose Ice 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 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.

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.

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.
