Ingredients

Scale

Dairy and Liquid Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 16 fluid ounces heavy/whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup rose water

Sweeteners and Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 drop pink food coloring

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the whole milk and white sugar. Use a hand mixer to blend them together until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes, creating a smooth base.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate the heavy cream, vanilla extract, rose water, and a drop of pink food coloring into the milk mixture. Mix well to combine everything evenly. Add the rose water gradually, starting with less than 1/4 cup and tasting as you go to achieve the perfect floral balance without overpowering.
  3. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the combined mixture into your ice cream maker. Operate the machine for approximately 30 minutes or until the ice cream reaches your preferred creamy consistency.
  4. Serve or Freeze: Enjoy the ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer it to a container and freeze for a firmer texture before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust rose water quantity to taste; it can be overpowering if too much is added at once.
  • If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes until firm to mimic churning.
  • Using full-fat dairy ensures a rich and creamy texture.
  • The pink food coloring is optional but adds an attractive visual appeal matching the rose flavor.
