Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the room-temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar to the cream cheese, mixing until fully combined, which should take another 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk into the bowl. Whisk until well incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, rose water, and fresh lemon zest until fully blended.
- Cover the mixture tightly and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until chilled.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions for about 20-25 minutes.
- In the last few minutes of churning, gently fold in the chopped pistachios and edible rose petals.
- Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container, smoothing the top for an even finish. Freeze for 4-6 hours or until firm.
- When ready to serve, take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes for easier scooping.

Notes
Let cream cheese sit out for 30 minutes to avoid lumps. Chill the mixture for optimal texture and measure rose water carefully.
