So Yummy! I can't believe I let this lie in my recipe file without trying it for so long! Preparation time does not include time for freezing the banana chunks, (2-3 hours). Try using powdered sugar so that you don't get the coarse granules in the ice-cream.

SUPER QUICK EXOTIC ROSE ICE CREAM



Super Quick Exotic Rose Ice Cream image

This ice cream is a real treat for all the senses. I wanted to make a special treat for dessert but didn't have a great deal of time so ended up creating this little beauty! Using store bought strawberry ice cream cuts your work & time in the kitchen in half & the strawberry really brings out the delicate rose flavours. If you're serving the ice cream straight away, you can add the meringue nuggets but if it's to stay in the freezer for a while, you may want to leave them out & make meringue nests to serve the ice cream in instead. Prep time includes freezing time. Please note that the recipes does state 10 tablespoons of rose water - this is because the rose water I used here is a very weak one from East End Foods. If you have a nice strong rose water, from an Arab manufacturer, please only use 4-5 tablespoons...or to taste.

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups strawberry ice cream
10 of tablespoons rose water (add 2 at a time, tasting each time)
1 egg white
1 ounce caster sugar
1 pinch cream of tartar
3 green cardamom pods, seeds only
2 tablespoons of chopped pistachios
rose petal (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the strawberry ice cream in a large freezable, airtight container & gently mix in the rose water. Take your cardamom seeds & roughly grind then add to the ice cream. Place in the freezer to chill whilst you make the meringues.
  • Preheat the oven to 150-160c. Whip the egg white until soft peak stage then whisk in the sugar & cream of tartar.
  • Spoon the meringue mix onto a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil. Use the back of the spoon to smooth the meringue into flat circles approx 1cm high & 8 cm wide. Place in the oven & cook for 25 minutes.
  • Turn the oven off but leave the meringues in the oven to dry out for approx 1 hour.
  • When the meringues have dried out & have been allowed to cool, chop them up & very gently fold them into the ice cream. Return the ice cream to the freezer for at least 20 minutes or until ready to serve.
  • To serve the ice cream, spoon into individual serving bowls, top with chopped pistachios & rose petals if using - enjoy!

QUICK CARDAMOM ICE CREAM (AKA. KHULFI)



QUICK CARDAMOM ICE CREAM (AKA. KHULFI) image

Categories     Dairy     Dessert     Freeze/Chill     Quick & Easy

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cup non-fat milk **
1 cup fat free evaporated milk **
1 cup fat free sweetened condensed milk **
3/4 cup soft light cream cheese **
1 cardamom pod (or 1/2 tsp ground cardamom) **
1-1/2 tsp lemon juice **
crushed pistachio nuts for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • If using a cardamom pod, discard the pod husk and ground the cardamom to a powder. Add ground cardamom to milk. Bring milk and cardamom to a boil and continue to simmer for 10 minutes to infuse milk with cardamom flavor. Stir continuously. Stir in any film that develops on top of the milk. Let cool. Whip cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the evaporated milk and continue to stir cream cheese to combine both ingredients and keep the cream cheese smooth and not lumpy. Once the evaporated milk and cream cheese mixture is smooth and completely combined, add the condensed milk, the cardamom milk mixture, and the lemon juice. Stir well and put in the freezer until frozen. Serve like ice cream. The traditional Asian Indian dessert is also served with crushed pistachios on top.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready before starting.
  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients yield the best results.
  • Chill your ingredients: This helps the ice cream freeze faster and smoother.
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing can make the ice cream icy.
  • Freeze quickly: Place the ice cream in the freezer as soon as it's mixed to prevent ice crystal formation.
  • Store properly: Keep the ice cream covered in the freezer to prevent freezer burn.
