This Sampaguita Ice Cream Recipe is a delightful treat, infused with the fragrant essence of the Filipino jasmine flower, also known as Sampaguita. Its subtle floral notes blend wonderfully with a creamy base of heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk, offering a unique taste of the Philippines. Perfect for any dessert occasion, it evokes elegance and tradition with every scoop.
If using fresh Sampaguita flowers, gently wash them and steep them in hot milk for about 10-15 minutes to infuse their flavor. If using extract, you can skip this step and directly add the extract to the milk mixture later.
In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir to combine.
Add the Sampaguita infusion (or extract), sugar, and a pinch of salt to the cream mixture. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes).
Once the ice cream is thickened and creamy, transfer it to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
