Description
This Ninja Creami Rose Ice Cream is delicately floral, rich, and creamy with the subtle elegance of edible rose petals. It’s the perfect treat for summer afternoons or any special occasion that calls for something unique and beautiful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons dried rose petals – Edible and aromatic; infuse in half and half
- 2 cups half and half – Provides a creamy, rich texture
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk – Sweetens and smooths the mixture
- ½ cup cottage cheese – Adds body and protein without compromising creaminess
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste – Enhances the floral flavor and aroma
- 3 drops red food color (optional) – For a rosy hue
Optional Add-Ons
- Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or fresh fruit – For extra texture and variety
- Pinch of cardamom or cinnamon – Complements the rose flavor beautifully
Substitutions and Shortcuts
- Rose water – Use 1–2 drops in place of rose petals
- Dairy-free option: Substitute half and half with coconut cream or almond milk; adjust sweetness
- Vanilla bean paste – Adds elegant specks of vanilla to the mix
Instructions
- Warm the half and half: In a saucepan over low heat, warm the half and half—do not let it boil.
- Infuse the rose petals: Stir in dried rose petals and steep for 10 minutes to extract flavor.
- Blend: Transfer the infused liquid to a blender. Add sweetened condensed milk, cottage cheese, vanilla extract or paste, and food coloring (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Transfer: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, leaving space at the top.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for 24 hours.
- Process: After freezing, process the pint in your Ninja Creami using the “Ice Cream” setting. Respin if needed for extra creaminess.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Storage: Keep leftovers in the Creami container in the freezer. Reprocess as needed to return to creamy texture.
- Flavor tip: Steep longer for a stronger rose flavor, or combine with a hint of citrus zest for balance.
- No rose petals? Use 1–2 drops of food-grade rose water instead of steeping.
