Step 1
In a small bowl, crush the 1/4 tsp saffron threads and dissolve in 2 tbsp hot water. Let steep for 5 minutes until the water turns deep orange.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whip the 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Gently fold the 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 tbsp rose water, and the steeped saffron into the whipped cream until just combined.
Step 4
Fold in the 1/2 cup pistachios, 1/4 cup almonds, and 1/4 cup cashews, reserving a few for garnish.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the reserved nuts. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Step 6
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones.
