Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon rose water
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh rose petals (make sure they're pesticide-free)
• Pink food coloring (optional)

Directions

1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, and salt until well combined.
3. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan.
4. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. It should reach a temperature of around 170°F (77°C). Do not let it boil.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, rose water, and chopped fresh rose petals. If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring for a more vibrant color.
6. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill completely.
7. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
8. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
9. Serve the rose ice cream in cones or bowls, and garnish with additional fresh rose petals if desired. Enjoy!
