Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Saffron Rose Ice Cream Delight.
Step 1
Start by infusing the saffron in warm milk. Simply add a pinch of saffron strands to 2 tablespoons of warm milk and let it sit for about 15 minutes. This step allows the saffron to release its beautiful color and flavor, setting the stage for a truly aromatic ice cream.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream with the saffron-infused milk, 1 1/2 tablespoons of rose syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and 1/4 cup of chopped pistachios. Stir gently but thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and takes on a lovely pink hue, reminiscent of a sunset.
Step 3
Once everything is well combined, scoop the mixture back into the ice cream container. Cover it tightly and pop it into the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firm and ready to serve. This waiting period is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a rich and indulgent treat.
Step 4
When you’re ready to enjoy your saffron rose ice cream, simply scoop it into bowls or cones. For an extra touch, sprinkle a few more chopped pistachios on top and perhaps a drizzle of rose syrup for that added flair. Enjoy this delightful dessert on a warm day or as a special treat to impress your guests!
