Rose Pistachio Ice Cream

Who doesn’t love ice cream?  And this delicious and timeless combination is perfect to surprise your significant other or loved ones for a great Valentine’s day (or any special day) dessert.

It’s luscious, creamy, tasty, and has this gorgeous pink hue from the rose syrup that is so pretty! The best part, I didn’t have to cook it and I spent less than 10 minutes making it!  The hardest part was waiting for the ice cream to set!

Pistachios are an evergreen favorite of mine.  I add it to anything I can and pistachio ice cream is a favorite of mine.  For Valentine’s Day, I wanted to add a little symbol of love to this recipe and what beats roses for love day?  As I experimented, the addition of rose syrup was a given but I played around with rose water also because while the syrups lends a sweetness and a beautiful pink color, the rose water is where the aroma comes in.  That beautiful, sweet rose flavor makes me think of flowers in the house!

Go ahead, give this a try for your loved ones this Valentine’s Day and I promise you will not be disappointed!  The earthy and floral combination is sure to be a hit!

From my kitchen to yours, I hope you enjoy this delicious Rose Pistachio Ice Cream!
