Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup sweetened condensed milk 1/4 cup rose water 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and rose water. Mix until well incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and butter until well combined. Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 12 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir in the chopped pistachios to the graham cracker mixture. Once cooled, press the mixture into a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove both the ice cream mixture and the chilled pistachio brittle from the refrigerator. Slice the brittle into 1/2 inch thick bars, reserving the scraps for later use.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into an electric ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Once ready, fold in some of the reserved pistachio brittle scraps.
- Transfer the churned ice cream into a loaf pan or any desired mold, layering it with remaining pistachio bars. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
