Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon rosewater
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup crushed pistachios
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, rosewater, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved to ensure a smooth base.
- Chill Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to help the flavors meld and to improve the ice cream’s texture during churning.
- Churn Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, generally about 20-30 minutes, until it thickens.
- Add Pistachios: In the last few minutes of churning, add the crushed pistachios so they are evenly distributed throughout without sinking.
- Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours to solidify and enhance the texture before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the pistachios lightly before crushing.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, place the mixture in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes while freezing until firm.
- Adjust rosewater quantity to taste, as it can be quite potent.
- Use high-quality rosewater for the best aromatic experience.
