Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 large egg yolks
- 5 tablespoons gulkand (rose petal jam)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and heavy whipping cream over medium heat until just below boiling point, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and pale.
- Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the gulkand and rose water, if using, until fully incorporated.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
- Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In the last few minutes of churning, add the coarsely chopped almonds.
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Gulkand can be found in Indian grocery stores or online. If you prefer a stronger rose flavor, add the optional rose water. Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Serve with additional chopped almonds or a drizzle of rose syrup for extra flavor.
