Homemade Rose Ice Cream 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.

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 ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the milk and sugar in a large bowl using a hand mixer until the sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes).
• Add the remaining ingredients and continue mixing until combined. The concentration of rose water can vary, so it's a good idea to build up to the 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) a tablespoon at a time so you can give it a taste and add more without adding too much.
• Pour the mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker and run the machine for about 30 minutes or until it reaches the consistency you like.
• Serve immediately or transfer to a container and freeze until it's more firm.

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-GERANIUM-AND-CARDAMOM ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine cream, milk, geranium leaves, and cardamom pods in a saucepan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is scalding hot (do not let simmer), about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. In a large heatproof bowl, whisk yolks with sugar and salt until smooth and pale. Whisking constantly, ladle half of cream mixture into yolk mixture, a little at a time, until combined. Whisk yolk-and-cream mixture back into saucepan with remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon and a thermometer registers 180 degrees, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour custard through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl set in an ice-water bath. Let cool completely, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.
• Churn custard in an ice cream maker (following manufacturer's instructions) until it has texture of soft-serve ice cream. Freeze in an airtight container until firm, at least 4 hours and upto 1 month. If ice cream is frozen solid, transfer to refrigerator to let soften slightly before serving, about 20 minutes. Serve, with peaches and cookies.

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.
