Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freezing: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup full cream milk
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • cups thickened cream
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Few drops pink food colouring
  • 1 tsp rose extract

Instructions

  • Whisk the milk, vanilla, and sugar in a large bowl until the granules dissolve.
  • Stir in the cream until combined.
  • Add the food colouring, one drop at a time, until you're happy with the colour.
  • Add half a teaspoon of rose extract and taste test. If necessary, keep adding more until you're happy with the strength. Keep in mind that once the dessert is frozen, it loses a little flavour.
  • Transfer the liquid ice cream to the refrigerator and chill for two hours.
  • Pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and churn until thickened.
  • Scoop into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least three hours until hardened.

Notes

  • Store any left overs in the freezer for 1-2 weeks.
  • Try adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the milk before whisking for extra creaminess.
  • The ice cream will lose some colour after freezing, so allow for this when adding the colouring.
