### **Ingredients You’ll Need**
Here’s what you’ll need to make this creamy, delightful Rose Pistachio Cheesecake Ice Cream:
– **For the Pistachio Swirl:**
– ½ cup shelled pistachios (unsalted)
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon water
### **Step-by-Step Instructions**
2. **Make the Ice Cream Base:**
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is warm, but not boiling. While the milk and cream are warming, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract, rose water, and a pinch of salt, mixing well to incorporate the flavors.
3. **Combine the Cream Cheese Mixture and Milk:**
Slowly pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture while stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Once combined, continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. If you prefer a tangier taste, you can stir in the optional lemon juice and powdered sugar at this stage.
5. **Churn the Ice Cream:**
Once the ice cream base is thoroughly chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This process usually takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on your ice cream maker. The mixture should thicken and resemble soft serve ice cream when it’s ready.
6. **Add the Pistachio Swirl:**
Once the ice cream has reached a soft serve consistency, spoon the pistachio paste into the mixture, gently folding it in with a spatula to create a swirl effect. You can leave some parts more concentrated with pistachio paste for a stronger flavor or swirl it evenly throughout for a more subtle hint.
