Method
- Place a large mixing bowl and your whisk attachments in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to chill.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, rose water, vanilla extract, salt, and pink food coloring until well combined and uniform in color.
- Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into your chilled mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Do not overwhip.
- Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it. Then, pour the condensed milk mixture into the remaining whipped cream. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold everything together until no white streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the air.
- Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and edible dried rose petals over the cream mixture. Gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9x5 inch metal loaf pan or a freezer-safe airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and garnish with a few extra pistachios and rose petals if desired.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper directly against the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Remove from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping. Enjoy!
Notes
Flavor adjusting: Rose water strength varies by brand. Start with 1 tablespoon, taste the condensed milk mixture, and add more if you prefer a stronger floral flavor.
