Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1 tablespoon of rose water, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
  3. If desired, add a couple of drops of pink food coloring, stirring gently to achieve the desired shade.
  4. Pour the combined mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions for about 20-25 minutes.
  5. If using the no-churn method, fold in 3/4 cup of chopped shelled pistachios into the mixture.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
  7. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping.
