Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 16 fluid ounces heavy/whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Flavoring
- 1/4 cup rose water
- 1 drop pink food coloring
Instructions
- Mix Milk and Sugar: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the whole milk and white sugar for about 2 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a smooth base for the ice cream.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate heavy cream, vanilla extract, rose water, and pink food coloring into the milk and sugar mixture. Add the rose water gradually, starting with less and tasting to achieve your preferred floral intensity without overpowering the base.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the combined mixture into the ice cream maker bowl and churn the mixture for approximately 30 minutes, or until the texture becomes creamy and thick, resembling soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze or Serve: You can enjoy the ice cream immediately for a softer texture, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for a few hours to firm it up for a traditional ice cream consistency.
Notes
- Adjust rose water quantity to taste to avoid overly strong floral flavor.
- Use an ice cream maker for best results; no-churn methods may yield different texture.
- Adding a drop of pink food coloring enhances the visual appeal without altering flavor.
- Serve within a week for optimal freshness and flavor.
