Persian ice cream
For my 950th recipe, I treat you to this exquisite delicacy that is very easy to prepare and has a fantastic taste. Last year we were at some Persian restaurant in Washington and this was served as a dessert. Me and the kids were skeptical because we are not fans of rose water, but when we tried it we were just thrilled. Of course, I immediately had to combine my version, and it paid off.
Preparation steps
- Put the ice cream in the fridge for about 40 minutes to soften. So time to mix the saffron with a tablespoon of hot water and let it stand for about 5 minutes.
- When the ice cream has softened, place it in a larger bowl, add the saffron and rose water and mix for a few minutes until all is well combined. If you want, you can add pistachios to the ice cream, I don't put them in the ice cream, but I just sprinkle them when I serve, because some people don't like the taste of pistachios.
- Place the prepared ice cream in a container that can be in the freezer, and leave for about 6-7 hours to freeze.
- Serve the ice cream sprinkled with pistachios with crispy waffle biscuits
