Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes). Avoid lumps for a velvety texture.
  2. Add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup of whole milk, 2 tbsp rose water, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated and slightly thickened (4-5 minutes).
  3. For churn method, pour mixture into ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes, adding 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios in the last 5 minutes. For no-churn, fold in pistachios, pour into container, and freeze for at least 6 hours.
  4. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Serve in elegant bowls, garnished with extra chopped pistachios or dried rose petals.
