How to Make Bastani Akbar Mashti Iranian Ice Cream

  1. **Prepare the Cream:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, ¾ cup sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. **Churn the Base:** Pour the cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This process typically takes 20-30 minutes.
  3. **Initial Freeze:** Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until it reaches a firm, scoopable consistency but not rock-hard.
  4. **Fold in the Magic:** Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Gently fold in ½ cup of heavy cream, making sure not to overmix.
  5. **Rosewater Infusion:** Add 1-2 teaspoons of rosewater (adjust to your preference) and carefully fold it into the ice cream until evenly distributed.
  6. **Final Freeze:** Transfer the ice cream back to the freezer-safe container and freeze for at least another hour, or until solid. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping and serving.
