Vegan Rose Pistachio Ice Cream
This Vegan Rose Pistachio Ice Cream is a pale coconut base with a pink rose swirl and chopped pistachios in every scoop. No dairy. No eggs. No ice cream maker. Rose water goes in at the end so it tastes floral, not soapy. The nuts stay crunchy if you fold them in after the base is cold.
I love how pretty this looks in a bowl. A little rose is enough. More is not better. Chill the cans overnight or the cream will not whip.

The Secret to Rose That Tastes Clean
Use food-grade rose water, and start with less than you think. A mashed raspberry or a drop of beet gives the pink without extra flavor. Whip the coconut cream cold, fold the nuts in last, and freeze until it holds a scoop. Let it sit 8 minutes before you serve so it isn’t a brick.

Ingredients
Instructions

- Freeze at least 4 hours. Rest 8 minutes before scooping.
Notes & Tips
- Light coconut milk will not whip. Full-fat only.
- A few dried rose petals on top are pretty and optional.
- Toast the pistachios 3 minutes so they taste nuttier.
- If it freezes too hard, a splash of plant milk stirred in helps it scoop.
