Rose Water, Pistachio and Cinnamon Ice cream

Issue 60 September 2009

Rose Water Ice Cream

Ingredients

3 tbsp rose water
275 ml whole milk
4 large egg yolks
110 g superfine sugar
284 ml double cream

 

Method

1. Heat the milk slowly in a pan to boiling point.
2. Meanwhile in a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until smooth and foamy; pour the heated milk over the egg mixture, beating all the time.
3. Return the mixture to the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it thickens slightly to form a coating over the back of the spoon (do not let it boil).
4. Pour into a bowl, cool then stir in the cream and rosewater. Pour into a shallow plastic box and place in the freezer until completely frozen (after 2 hours of freezing, you may wish to remove the ice cream from the freezer and whisk it to remove any ice crystals that form at the edges – repeat this twice more during the freezing process).

1 cinnamon stick
3 egg yolks
100g caster sugar
