Creating your own Rose Pistachio Cheesecake Ice Cream is easier than you might think. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Pistachios: Start by chopping the shelled pistachios. Reserve a tablespoon for topping later.
2. Blend the Base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. This will be the base for your cheesecake ice cream.
3. Combine the Ingredients: Add heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined and smooth.
4. Add the Flavors: Sprinkle in the chopped pistachios and rosewater. Stir gently to fully incorporate, ensuring the pistachios are evenly distributed.
5. Chill the Mixture: Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This helps enhance the flavors.
6. Transfer to Container: After chilling, pour the mixture into an airtight container. Ensure it is sealed tightly.
7. Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and freeze for about 3-4 hours, or until solid. For best results, freeze overnight.
