Ingredients
For the Ice Cream
1 x batch Homemade Strawberry Coulis, chilled (Chefs Note: We like to leave the sugar out of the coulis for this recipe, since the condensed milk is already pretty sweet.)
1/4 - 1/2 tsp Rose Water
1 can 385 g (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
500 ml (2 cups) Heavy Cream, chilled
For Serving
Raw Pistachios, roughly chopped
Culinary Grade Dried Rose Petals
Turkish Delight
Sugar Cones or Wafers
Instructions
Make the Ice Cream Base
-
Mix together the strawberry coulis, rose water and condensed milk together in a small bowl.
-
Using a standing mixer (or hand mixer) with the whisk attachment attached, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. (Be careful not to over whip the cream as the texture will become grainy.)
Chef’s Tip: Chill a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator for an hour or two.
-
Gently fold in a third of the strawberry and condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream, repeat the process until all the strawberry and condensed milk mixture has been incorporated. (Work carefully so as not to deflate the cream.)
-
Taste the mixture and add a drop more rose water if desired. (Be careful not to add too much rose water as rose water can become bitter and overpower the other flavors completely.)
Freeze the Ice Cream
-
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer safe airtight container. Smooth ice cream and cover with a piece of parchment paper before closing with a tight lid.
-
Freeze for 12 hours or preferably overnight.
Serve and Enjoy!
-
Take the ice cream out of the freezer and 10-15 minutes before serving.
-
Serving scoops of the rose ice cream in cones or bowls and garnish with dried rose petals, pistachios and Turkish Delight.
Notes
Storage Instructions: Store the rose ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of parchment paper directly on top of the ice cream before sealing the container. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for the best creamy texture.
