Saffron ice cream

And after a long time of updating, I gonna write some fun and delicious Persian ice cream which is called Saffron ice-cream or traditional ice cream. This ice cream is very popular in Iran and 99 percent of people love it. Here in this very far land from sweet home we miss it some days especially in a warm summer day. So we decided to make it at home. I don’t have any ice cream machine at home ,so my first try for making ice cream was saffron ice cream , It was really fun and yummy, the taste and the model was really like an original form. If you are interested in, you can fallow this post:

Ingredients:

·         Milk 1.3 liter (3.25% preference )

·         Cream 20-30ml (5%-10%) , (optional)

·         Sugar 400gr ( it is a little bit sweet , up to you)

·         Sahlep powder 2tsp

·         Rose water half cup

·          Saffron 1/3 tsp (if you like  very yellow add more to get your desirable color )

Direction:

At the first we should warm the milk, it is not necessary to boil it just a little bit warm because the sugar needs to solve in. In another plate we first should mix the sugar and sahlep that it wouldn’t be like a bullet. Then we add the mix of sugar and sahlep to the milk gradually. And mix them by hand mixer. You should mix them till you fill the form of the mix is changing. It will be a little bit harder. In this time we add rose water and saffron and mix more. In this part since I didn’t have machine I put the mixed in a steel bowl and put some ice slice in a bigger steel bowl ,then put the mixed bowl on the ice and mixed by mixer more. If you add some salt in ice is better and helps the ice-cream creating sooner. After the form of the mixed started to change more, put the bowl in the freezer and every 15 minutes mix them again due to it wouldn’t glaciate, and put it in the refrigerator again. With this method after maximum 3-4 hours you can almost have the ice cream but, in this time you should put them in the refrigerator that the form will be more like ice cream. That is all, too easy but needs to be patient. You can add any flavour you like on it. Delicious  J
