Bowl of pink ice cream garnished with rose petals and almond slices, with a scoop, spoon, milk jug, and bowl of ingredients on a wooden surface.

I have had this recipe taped to my refrigerator for the past two years which I received at a gourmet pot luck party I attended. I do not know who made this so cannot thank that person nor attribute to him … It is a remarkable dessert, you only need a tiny portion to be satisfied since it is so full of taste and fragrance!

Ready

2 cups milk

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup organic rose petals

½ cup almonds, skinless (slivered almonds work well)

3 drops natural red food coloring

Set

Heavy sauce pan

Measuring cup – liquid and solid

Blender

Cheesecloth

Ice cream machine

Go!

In a heavy sauce pan, heat milk, sugar, and rose petals over medium-low heat until almost boiling. Let cool for a few minutes, then puree in a blender with the almonds.

Strain mixture through layers of cheesecloth (or cotton cloth) to remove almond.

Add food coloring.

Chill thoroughly and process in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions
