Super Quick Exotic Rose Ice Cream

INGREDIENTS

3 cups strawberry ice cream

10 of tablespoons rose water (add 2 at a time, tasting each time)

1 egg white

1 ounce caster sugar

1 pinch cream of tartar

3 green cardamom pods, seeds only

To decorate

2 tablespoons of chopped pistachios

rose petal (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Place the strawberry ice cream in a large freezable, airtight container & gently mix in the rose water. Take your cardamom seeds & roughly grind then add to the ice cream. Place in the freezer to chill whilst you make the meringues.

Preheat the oven to 150-160c. Whip the egg white until soft peak stage then whisk in the sugar & cream of tartar.

Spoon the meringue mix onto a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil. Use the back of the spoon to smooth the meringue into flat circles approx 1cm high & 8 cm wide. Place in the oven & cook for 25 minutes.

Turn the oven off but leave the meringues in the oven to dry out for approx 1 hour.

When the meringues have dried out & have been allowed to cool, chop them up & very gently fold them into the ice cream. Return the ice cream to the freezer for at least 20 minutes or until ready to serve.

To serve the ice cream, spoon into individual serving bowls, top with chopped pistachios & rose petals if using - enjoy!
