Stretchy Ice Cream – Bastani Salap
Stretchy Ice Cream – Bastani Salap
Description
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
- 500ml full cream milk
- 250ml whipping cream
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 tsp rose water
- 1 tsp salep
- 1 tsp saffron powder
Methods/steps
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.
Additional Tips
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.
