Where can I find low-fat rose petal ice cream?

I've become addicted lately to the superb Indian cousine. Perhaps, after trying rose petal ice cream in NY I have started wondering whether rose petal ice cream (fat-free or light) is also available? If any, can I order it on-line?

Where can I find low-fat rose petal ice cream?
It's hard to buy commercial low fat rose petal ice cream,


you can easily find regular rose petal ice cream at any Indian grocery store.





But here's a good recipe:





Petals of 3 fragrant organic roses


½ cup lowfat milk (skim doesnt work well)


3 ½ cups heavy cream (can use fat free half %26amp; half)


1 cup granulated sugar


6 egg yolks


¼ cup rosewater, or to taste, available at Indian stores


a few drops red food color, optional





Wash the rose petals in cold water and pat dry. In a heavy, non-reactive saucepan, place petals of 2 roses, milk, cream, and ½ cup of the sugar. Place over medium heat and heat to just under boiling. Let steep about a half hour to infuse.





Combine the egg yolks and the remaining ½ cup of sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk until thick and pale yellow. Bring the rose/cream mixture back to a near boil and whisk ¼ of the warm mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Then pour all of the egg mixture into the rose milk and place over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.





Strain into a bowl and chill on ice. Pour into the ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer finished ice cream into bowl and add the torn petals from the remaining rose. Fold into ice cream and pack into freezing container.





PS: the Indian word for rose is "gulab".
Reply:How to make rose petal ice cream:


This is a most unusual recipe which harks back to a time when certain flowers were used quite extensively in cooking. When obtaining rose petals, make absolutely certain that you know how they have been grown and that they have neither been too near a busy highway or sprayed with pesticides. If you buy your roses from a florist shop make sure that they have not been treated with any chemicals. Also remove any bugs, dirt etc. and wash the petals thoroughly before use.








Ingredients





1/2 pint organic milk


yolks of 6 organic, free range eggs


3 1/2 tablespoons caster/superfine sugar


1/2 pint organic cream


1 cup rose petals


4 tablespoons rosé wine
