Stretchy Ice Cream – Bastani Salap

This Ice Cream is very quick and easy to make. The use of salep adds elasticity and results in a marsh mallow like appearance. The delicate flavours of rosewater and saffron create the subtle distinction of this traditional recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 500 ml full cream milk
  • 250 ml whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tsp rose water
  • 1 tsp salep
  • 1 tsp saffron powder

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients except the salep in a blender and blend until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the salep and blend until the mixture is thick.
  • Pour into a deep container that is suitable to freeze and place in the freezer for about 4-6 hours until the mixture is partly frozen.
  • Put the mixture back into the blender and blend for a couple of minutes until all the frozen ice-cream is mixed with the liquid.
  • Put into a storage container and freeze until hard.

Notes

Western flavours can be used in this ice cream, resulting in a mix of Western and Persian tastes. I have blended a few Blueberries into the mixture, or added chocolate topping instead of the Rose Water and Saffron.
