Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in 1 cup of granulated sugar slowly while continuing to mix until fully incorporated, taking 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of whole milk, and 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together for 2-3 minutes until combined.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons of rose water, and the zest of one lemon, stirring gently for about a minute.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions for about 20-25 minutes.
- During the last few minutes of churning, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios and a handful of edible rose petals.
- Transfer the churned mixture into an airtight container and freeze for 4-6 hours or until firm.
- Once frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and garnish with additional chopped pistachios and edible rose petals.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother batter and chill the mixture fully before churning. Garnishes enhance flavor and presentation.
